Power Management
Use ON/OFF Power Switch to power the flash unit on or off. Turn off
if it will not be used for an extended period of time. Setting as a
master flash, it will turn the power off automatically after a certain
period (approx. 90 seconds) of idle use. Pressing the camera
shutter halfway or pressing any flash button will wake up the flash
unit. Setting as a slave flash, it will enter sleep mode after a certain
period (adjustable, 60 minutes by default) of idle use. Pressing any
flash button will wake it up.
Disabling Auto Power Off function is recommended
when the flash is used off camera. (C.Fn-01, see P22)
Slave Auto Power Off Timer is set to 60 minutes by
default. Another option “30 minutes” is available. (C.Fn-
10, see P22)
