Flash Modes
t
 Checking flash operation before taking a picture
Test fire the Speedlight under the 
same conditions and with the same 
Speedlight and camera settings before 
taking the actual picture.
v
 Exposure compensation in repeating flash mode
•  Overexposure occurs in repeating flash mode when the actual flash-
to-subject distance is equal to the effective flash output distance 
determined using the f-number in procedure  . This is because the 
correct exposure is achieved with a single flash firing.
•  To prevent overexposure, choose a larger f-number on the camera.
