Replacing the Off-Camera Adapter The off-camera adapter is useful when using the product as an off-camera flash. There is a 1/4″ mounting hole at the bottom of the off-camera adapter.
This flash has three flash modes: E-TTL, Manual (M), and Multi (Stroboscopic). In E-TTL mode, the camera and the flash will work together to calculate the correct exposure for the subject and the background. In this mode, multiple TTL functions are available: FEC, FEB, FEL, HSS, second curtain sync, modeling flash, control with the camera’s menu screen. * Press Mode Selection Button and three flash modes will display on the LCD panel one by one with each pressing.
3. Press button again to confirm the setting. FEB: Flash Exposure Bracketing You can take three flash shots while automatically changing the flash output for each shot from -3 to +3 in 1/3rd stops. The camera will record three images with different exposures: one exposed according to camera calculations, one over-exposed and another under-exposed. Over and under exposure amount is user adjustable.
With displayed on the LCD panel, press the camera’s button. If the camera does not have the button, press the < > button. 1. Focus the subject. 2. Press the button. * Aim the subject at the center of the viewfinder and press button. * The camera flash will fire a preflash and the required flash output for the subject is retained in memory. * Each time the button is pressed, a preflash will be fired and a new flash exposure setting will be locked.
Second-Curtain Sync With a slow shutter speed, you can create a light train following the subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes. Press function button 4 < > button so that < > is displayed on the LCD panel. M: Manual Flash The flash output is adjustable from 1/1 full power to 1/128th power in 1/3rd stop increments. To obtain a correct flash exposure, use a hand-held flash meter to determine the required flash output. 1. Press button so that < > is displayed. 2.

With this function, the flash will fire synchronously when the main flash fires, the same effect as that by the use of radio triggers. This helps create multiple lighting effects.
● Press Function Button 4 < > button to select the flash times. Turn the Select Dial to set the number. ● After you finish the setting, press button and all the settings will be displayed. Calculating the Shutter Speed During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed and set it with the camera.

This product supports wireless flash application and functions as either a master or a slave unit. As a master unit, it can control Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII, 600EX-RT via wireless. As a slave unit, it can receive wireless signals of Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII, 600EX-RT and commanders of Canon cameras e.g. 7D/60D/600D. You can set up two to three slave groups for E-TTL II autoflash shooting. With E-TTL II autoflash, you can easily create various lighting effects.
You can switch between normal flash and wireless flash. For normal flash shooting, be sure to set the wireless setting to OFF. Master Unit Setting 1. Press < > button so that < >和< > are displayed on the LCD panel. Slave Unit Setting 1. Press < > button again so that < >和< > are displayed on the LCD panel. 2.

3. Press the button to confirm. 4. ETTL：Fully Automatic Wireless Flash Shooting Using Automatic Wireless Flash with a Single Slave Unit 1、Master Unit Setting ● Attach a AD360II-C camera flash on the camera and set it as the master Unit. ● As a master unit, AD360II-C can control Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII, 600EX-RT via wireless. 2、Slave Unit Setting ● Set the other camera flash as the wireless slave unit. ● As a slave unit, AD360II-C can receive wireless signals of Canon speedlites e.g.
7、Check the flash operation. ● Press the master unit’s Test Button< >。 ● Then, the slave unit will fire. If not, adjust the slave unit’s angle toward the master unit and distance from the master unit. Using Automatic Wireless Flash with Multiple Slave Units When stronger flash output or more convenient lighting operation is needed, increase the number of slave units and set it as a single slave unit. To add slave units, use the same steps as setting “automatic wireless flash with a single slave unit”.
Using Fully Automatic Wireless Flash The FEC and other settings that set on the master unit will also be appeared on the slave unit automatically. The slave unit does not need any operation. Use the following settings to make wireless flashes according to the same methods with normal flash shooting.
2、Setting < >. ● Step 2 to Step 4 are set on the master unit. ● Press the Function Button 4 on the master unit so that < > is displayed. 3、Setting . ● Press Function Button 2 < > so that is displayed. 4、Setting flash ratio. ● Press Function Button 3 < >. ● Turn the Select Dial to set the amount of flash ratio and press button to confirm. 5、Taking the picture. ● The slave units will flash according to the flash ratio.
If three slave units are all set to < > in terms of slave ID, these slave units will be controlled as if they were one camera flash in slave group A. Part ● When setting < RATIO A:B C >, group A, B and C will fire a flash synchronously; when setting< RATIO A:B >, group C will not fire a flash. ● If shooting under the situation that group C is toward the main shooting subject, over exposure might occurred.
This describes wireless (multiple shooting) using manual flash. You can shoot with a different flash output setting for each slave unit (firing group). Set all parameters on the master unit. 1、Setting the flash mode to . 2、Setting the number of flash groups. ● When < MENU 1> is displayed, press the Function Button 2 < > to set the groups to fire. ● The setting changes as follows each time you press the button: ALL（RATIO OFF）→ A/B（RATIO A：B）→ A/B/C（RATIO A：B：C）。 3、Setting flash output.

The firing frequency of stroboscopic flash during the optic transmission wireless shooting can be set from 1Hz to 199Hz (settings from 250 Hz to 500 Hz are not available). Wireless Flash Shooting: Radio (2.
Wireless Multiple Flash Shooting You can divide the slave units into two or three groups and perform E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash while changing the flash ratio (factor). In addition, you can set and shoot with a different flash mode for each firing group, for up to 5 groups.
Channel 1~32 1~4 A/B/C Power OFF，1/128~1/1 1/128~1/1 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-16 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.
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.
To set the bounce direction, hold the flash head and turn it to a satisfying angle. 0-270° horizontally and -15°-90° vertically If the wall or the 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. Sync Triggering The Sync Cord Jack is a Φ3.5mm plug.
