Flash Mode – M: Manual Flash

in 1/3rd stop increments. To obtain a correct flash exposure, use a
hand-held flash meter to determine the required flash output.

Flash Output Levels
The following table makes it easier to see how the display changes in
terms of f/stop when you increase or decrease the flash output. For
example, when you decrease the flash output to 1/2, 1/2-0.3, or
1/2-0.7, and then increase the flash output to more than 1/2, 1/2+0.3,
1/2+0.7, and 1/1 will be displayed.

In M manual flash mode, press
< S1/S2 >
button so that this flash can
be triggered as an optical slave. With this function, the flash will fire
simultaneously when the main flash fires. Use this mode when firing
another manual powered flash, and in areas where no one else is
doing flash photography.
Press
< S1/S2 >
button so that this flash can be triggered as an
intelligent optical slave. This is useful when triggering with a TTL
flash. In this mode, the flash will ignore a single “preflash” from the
main flash and will only fire in response to the second, actual flash
from the main unit. Use this mode when firing a TTL speedlight, and
in areas where no one else is doing flash photography.
