To avoid overheating or deteriorating the flash head, the over-temperature protection
function will be activated automatically after 10 continuous high-speed flashes and the
recycle time becomes 10s longer.
8. MF-Assist Beam
Under poorly-lit or low-contrast conditions, you can press MF-Assist Beam Button
(16) to turn on the MF-assist beam in order to make it easier to autofocus.
When the MF-assist beam is lit, is shown on the LCD display.
9. Buzz Function
The buzz function can be controlled by pressing BUZZ Button (17).
When the buzzer is turned on, is shown on the LCD display. The buzzer provides
an indication that the CL-360 flash unit has fully recycled.
10. Wireless Control Function
The flash unit is built in with a Wireless Control Port (8) so that you can wirelessly
adjust the power level of the flash and control the on-or-off of your flash, focus assist
lamp and buzzer, as well as trigger the flash.
To control the flash wirelessly, you need a Cheetah CL series remote control set
(
CL-Tx and CL-Rx). Insert CL-Rx receiver into the Wireless Control Port (7) on the
flash and put CL-Tx transmitter on top of the camera hot shoe. Settings made on

Hi-Speed Sync Triggering
To enter mode, press both Mode Selection Button (18) and Set Button (19).
Press Mode Selection Button (18) again to exit mode.
In hi-speed sync triggering mode, you can use a hi-speed sync trigger to have
your flash unit synchronize with all shutter speeds of
cameras(max. 1/8000 second, up to your camera). This is
convenient when you want to use aperture- priority for fill-flash
portraits.
Note:
Hi-speed sync triggering mode is effective only when the
flash unit is used together with hi-speed sync trigger, e.g.,
Cells II transceiver.
Hi-speed sync triggering mode is not available when the flash unit is mounted
onto the camera hotshoe.
Number of flashes / Firing frequency = Shutter speed
For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5 Hz, the
shutter speed should be at least 2 sec.
Note:
Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject against a dark
background.
Using a tripod, a remote switch, and an external power source is recommended.
A flash output of 1/1 or 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash.
Stroboscopic flash can be used with “bulb”.
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use stroboscopic flash
more than 10 times in succession.
