FLASH FEATURES
Flash Zoom (Flash Coverage)
Canon provided a flash head zoom to provide lighting just wide enough to cover the lens’s field of
view. Consider the zoom as a light modifier, for efficiency or artistic reasons, or because the
flashes may be off-camera and lens zoom is irrelevant. The 622 provides more flexibility than
Canon’s implementation. This may be affected by Canon’s rules - Wide panel extended: 14mm;
Head in Bounce on Auto: --mm; Head in Bounce on Manual: as set; Auto-adjust for sensor size
enabled.
Zoom Lock
An individual flash under remote control can have its zoom setting locked so that it is not controlled
by the camera’s zoom menu setting.
•
Hold down [CH SET] on a 622 Receiver for several seconds until the channel indicator
stays lit. (This is the same as setting mix control on a transmitter.)
•
Adjust the flash zoom setting with the flash control panel (automatic or manual).
•
Hold down [CH SET] for several seconds to cancel. The channel indicator will go out.
