ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage and Using the Wide Panel
The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually. It can
be set to match the lens focal length from 10 mm to 100mm
(4/3 system).
Also, with the built-in wide panel, the flash coverage can be
expanded for 7mm wide-angle lenses.
Choose 4/3 or 135 system in the Custom Function, C.Fn-ZOOM.
Creating a Catchlight
With the catch light panel, you can create a catchlight in the
subject’s eyes to add life to the facial expression.
If you set the flash coverage manually, make sure it covers
the lens focal length so that the picture will not have a dark
periphery.
•
Point the flash head straight ahead and then upward to
90°. The catch light will not appear if you swing the flash
head left or right.
•
For best catchlight effect, stay about 1.5m/4.9ft away from
the subject.
