Test Flash from a slave unit 

You can fire a test flash from a flash set as a slave unit. For operations, see the flash’s

Modeling Flash   

1.

 

Modeling Flash from a Master Unit 

When the camera’s depth-of-view preview button is pressed, the flash will fire 
continuously for 1 sec. This is called the modeling flash. It enables you to see the 
effects of the flash on the subject and the lighting balance. You can also fire the 
modeling flash by pressing the charge lamp/test flash button on Phottix Laso

 

transmitter (the operation required to be enabled in advance by setting C.Fn 02).

Modeling Flash from a Slave Unit

 

With EOS digital cameras released since 2012, you can fire the modeling flash from a 
flash set as a slave unit. For the operations, see the flash’s instruction manual. 

 

AF assist light 

In low light/contrast situation, the Phottix Laso

 

transmitter’s built-in Auto Focus 

Assist Light will illuminate to assist with AF. The AF Assist Light on the front of the 
transmitter will project a focusing target on the subject. As laser light, the AF assist 
light has the advantages of better directionality, less decay and better performance 
compared with LED type AF assist lights. You can choose to enable or disable the AF 
assist light by setting P. Fn 08. 
 
Note: The laser AF assist light is safe with optical power less than 5mW. However, 
avoid pointing the light at human eyes.
