Other Applications
Sync Triggering
The Sync Cord Jack is a Φ2.5mm plug. Insert a trigger plug here
and the flash will be fired synchronously with the camera shutter.
Modeling Flash
If the camera has a depth-of-field preview button, pressing it will fire
the flash continuously for 1 second. This is called modeling flash.
It enables you to see the shadow effects on the subject and the
lighting balance. You can fire the modeling flash during wireless or
normal flash shooting.
●
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do
not fire the modeling flash for more than 10 consecutive
times. If you fire the modeling flash 10 consecutive times,
allow at least 10 minutes’ break for the camera flash.
Auto Focus Assist Beam
In poorly-lit or low-contrast shooting environments, the built-in auto
focus assist beam will automatically light on to make it easier for
autofocus. The beam will light up only when autofocus is difficult
and get out as soon as the autofocus becomes correct.
If you want to turn off the auto focus assist beam, set the “AF” to
“OFF” on the C.Fn settings.
●
If you find the auto focus assist beam does not light up, this
is because the camera has got a correct autofocus.
●
Camera models that support auto focus assist beam:
X-PRO2, X-T20, X-T2, X-T1, GFX50S, GFX50R, X-T30
