(CH1/2/3/4) to choose.
Channel setting method:
Short press the function button [CH] to
highlight the channel, turn the [dial] to adjust, and press [SET] to save
the setting.
The S1/S2 trigger mode is suitable for manual flash mode and TTL flash
mode respectively. When YN685EX-RF works in S1/S2 trigger mode, the
flash mode defaults to M mode. Short press the function button [+/-] to
highlight the flash output, and turn the [dial] to adjust.
When the flash is in S1 mode, it will trigger the flash
synchronously with the first flash of the master flash, the effect is the
same as using a wireless flash trigger. To use this mode normally, your
master flash must be set to manual flash. The TTL flash system with
pre-flash should not be used, and the red-eye reduction function with
multiple flashes also should not be used.
Also known as "pre-flash cancel mode", this mode is similar to
S1 mode, but it can ignore the pre-flash from TTL flash, so it can support
the master flash working in TTL mode. In particular, if the S1 mode
cannot synchronize with your built-in flash, you can try the S2 mode.
Wireless flash shooting
1. 2.4GHz Radio Transmission
YN685EX-RF is compatible with YONGNUO RF radio trigger system, and it
can be used as a master unit or a slave unit during radio flash shooting.
When used as a master unit, it can remotely control the flash mode,
flash output and focal length of the slave units YN685EX-RF,YN650EX-RF,
YN320EX,YN720,YN560 III,YN560 IV,YN660,YN685(II),YN862.
When used as a slave unit, it can receive the radio triggering signal from
a flash trigger (such as RF602, RF603, YN560-TX Pro, etc.) or flash (such
as YN685EX-RF,YN650EX-RF,YN320EX,YN560 IV,YN660,YN862, etc.) with
602/603 master control function. If supported by the master control unit,
the flash mode, flash output and focal length can be changed remotely
through the master control unit.
•Master Unit, Slave Unit Settings
Flash mounted on top of the
camera, turn on the power, set the 「Wireless
Flash」 menu on the camera to “On” . For
more information, please refer to the camera
instructions.
Long press the [MODE] button to enter
the trigger mode selection interface, rotate
the [Dial] and select< SLAVE>, press [SET] to
save the settings.
•Select Radio Signal
Enter the custom option C.Fn 05 and set the
radio signal to RF602 or RF603. During the
triggering process, please ensure that the
radio signals of the master control unit and
the slave unit are set to be consistent,
otherwise the flash cannot be triggered.
•Transmission Channel/Radio ID Settings
If there are other photographers using radio wireless multiple flash
shooting or other radio equipment in public, you can change the
transmission channel and ID to avoid interference. YN685EX-RF has 16
physical channels and 10,000 IDs to choose.

Short press the function button 【ID】
to enter the ID setting interface, short press
the function button [←] or [→] to select the
number of ID digits, turn the [dial] to select
the desired number from 0 to 9, and short
press the 【SET】 button to save the settings.
If you need a higher flash output or better
lighting, you can increase the number of flash
units in one group of slave units.
For example: if the groups of 3 slave units are
set to <A>, they will be fired as a flash unit of
the slave unit group and controlled by the
master unit.
•Gr: Set different flash modes, brightness, and focal lengths for each
group of flashes for wireless flash shooting.
On the master control unit, short press the
【MODE】 button to switch the flash mode to
< G r > . I n t h i s m o d e , u p t o 5 g r o u p s
(A/B/C/D/E) flashes can be triggered
simultaneously, and different flash modes,
flash brightness and focal lengths can be set
for each group of slave units through the
master control unit. Short press the function
button [GR] to select the control group, then
turn the [dial] to directly change the exposure
compensation or flash output of the group of
slave units, short press the function button
[MODE] to change the flash mode of the
group of slave units (TTL,M ,OFF). Short press
the function button [+/-] and turn the [Dial] to adjust the exposure
compensation for all groups.
2. Optical Transmission
YN685EX-RF can be used as a slave unit in
o p t i c a l t ra n s m i s s i o n w i r e l e s s fl a s h
photography. There are three trigger modes:
Ss, S1, and S2. Setting method: Long press
the [MODE] button to enter the trigger mode
selection interface, turn the [dial] to select the
desired trigger mode, and press [SET] to save
the setting.
Ss trigger mode:
The same YN685EX-RF can
respectively receive the optical transmission
wireless trigger signal of YONGNUO YN320EX
and Sony HVL-F32M, HVL-F60RM, HVL-F60M
and other flashes. On the slave unit, short
press the [Gr] button to switch the flash to the
group you want to set. There are two groups
(A/B) for the slave unit to choose.
In the Ss trigger mode, the flash output of the
slave unit will be fully controlled by the
master unit, and there are four channels
