Other Applications
Wireless Control Function
The flash unit is built in with a Wireless Control Port so that you can
wirelessly adjust the power level of the flash and the flash
triggering.
To control the flash wirelessly, you need a FT-16S
remote control set (on-camera and on-flash). Insert its
receive end into the Wireless Control Port on the flash
and insert the transmit end into the camera hot shoe.
Settings made on the hotshoe-mounted
transmit and receive ends will
be wirelessly communicated
to the flash. Then you can
press the camera shutter
release button to trigger the
flash. You can also hold the
transmit end at hand to control
your off-camera flash.
For full instructions on the use of FT series remote control, see its user
manual.
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.
Bounce Flash
By pointing the flash head toward a wall or ceiling, the flash will
bounce off the surface before illuminating the subject. This can soften
shadows behind the subject for a more natural-looking shot. This is
called bounce flash.
To set the bounce direction, hold the flash head and turn it to a
satisfying angle.

●
If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash might
be too weak and result in underexposure.
●
The wall or the ceiling should be a plain, white color for
high reluctance. If the bounce surface is not white, a color
cast may appear in the picture.
Creating a Catchlight
With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the subject’s
eyes to add life to the facial expression.
Point the flash head upward
1
by 90°.
Pull out the wide panel. The
2
catchlight panel will come out
at the same time.
Push the wide panel back in.

●
Push in only the wide panel.
●
Follow the same procedures
as for bounce flash.
●
Point the flash head straight ahead and then upward by
90°. The catchlight will not appear if you swing the flash
head left or right.
●
For best catchlight effect, stay 1.5m/4.9ft away from the
subject.
