Customization with Personal Functions

P.Fn-01: Quick flash (Quick flash)

You can set whether to fire the flash (Quick flash) when the flash-ready lamp is still blinking in red (before fully charged), so there is less time to wait for recharging.

  • 0: ON (Enabled)
  • 1: OFF (Disabled)

Caution

  • Using Quick flash in continuous shooting () may cause underexposure, due to the reduced flash output.

P.Fn-02: Flash firing during linked shooting (Flash firing during linked shooting)

You can set whether to fire the Speedlite attached to the camera in linked shooting (). Set for each Speedlite used in linked shooting.

  • 0: OFF (Disabled)

    The Speedlite does not fire during linked shooting.

  • 1: ON (Enabled)

    The Speedlite fires during linked shooting.

Caution

  • Firing multiple Speedlites together in linked shooting may prevent suitable exposure or cause uneven exposure.

You can select whether to allow direct configuration of the kinds of functions shown in the lower figure simply by turning Select dial on screens such as this one that are accessed by pushing the joystick straight in.

  • 0: OFF (Disabled)

    Normal method of operation.

  • 1: ON (Enabled)

    Enables selection of setting items (for the flash exposure compensation amount, manual flash output, firing group control, flash ratio, flash modes in group firing, receiver firing groups, and FEB) with the joystick and direct configuration simply by turning Select dial.

    In MULTI flash mode, flash frequency and flash count can be set directly.

P.Fn-05: Beeping (Beeping)

    With the Speedlite set as a sender in radio transmission wireless flash photography, the sender beeps after all Speedlites (senders and receivers) are fully charged. Sender beeping enables you to confirm recharging of the entire wireless system. On receivers, P.Fn-05 can be set to [0] or [1]. With Speedlites set as wireless receivers in linked shooting (), each Speedlite set to [0] beeps after it is fully charged.

  • 1: OFF
