M: Manual Flash
The flash output is adjustable from 1/1 full power to 1/128th power
in 1/3rd stop increments. To obtain a correct flash exposure, use a
hand-held flash meter to determine the required flash output.
Flash Output Range
The following table makes it easier to see how the stop changes in terms
of f/stop when you increase or decrease the flash output. For example,
when you decrease the flash output to 1/2, 1/2-0.3, or 1/2-0.7, and then
increase the flash output to more than 1/2, 1/2+0.3, 1/2+0.7, and 1/1 will
be displayed.

In the M mode,
high-speed sync and second curtain sync functions
can be achieved.
Optical S1 Secondary Unit Setting
In M manual flash mode, press the <SLAVE> button so that this flash
can function as an optic S1 secondary flash with optic sensor. With this
function, the flash will fire synchronously when the main flash fires, the
same effect as that by the use of radio triggers.
Optical S2 Secondary Unit Setting
Press the <SLAVE> button so that this flash can also function as an optic
S2 secondary flash with optic sensor in M manual flash mode. This is
useful when cameras have pre-flash function. With this function, the
flash will ignore a single “preflash” from the main flash and will only fire
in response to the second, actual flash from the main unit.
S1 and S2 optic triggering and off camera high-speed mode
are only available in M manual flash mode.
