In the distance display section in the Status area, the distance that appropriate exposure can be obtained is calculated and displayed. Even with the same flashing amount, the distance to obtain the appropriate exposure varies if the camera's ISO sensitivity or the aperture value is changed.

An appropriate exposure when using manual flash can be calculated using the following formula.

Guide Number(GN) /Shooting distance (m) =Aperture value (F)

For the GN (Guide Number) of this flash, refer to [Table 1] attached at the end of this manual.

MULTI FLASH

Displaying movement of the subject in one frame as if the image is a photographic playback is possible by continuously emitting light with the flash while the shutter is open.

Use the camera's manual ("M") exposure mode.

1. Set the Flash mode to [MULTI].
2. In the Mode details area, set the flash amount, flash interval in "Hz" (eg.: 10 Hz = Emits light with the frequency of 10 times per second), and the number of flashes in "x".

1. Set a shutter speed that is slower
   than the value of the "number of flashes" / "flash frequency."

2. Check the flashgun status with the Ready light and start shooting.

The number of flashes that can be fired continuously varies depending on the combination of the flash amount and the flash frequency. Refer to [Table 2] at the end of this manual.

WIRELESS FLASH

When the flash is used at a location far from the camera, the creative possibilities are expanded. The EF-630 is controlled remotely by the camera's built-in flash or a separate Transmitter flash unit.

- EF-630 has three wireless flash modes for different applications.

WL TX-TTL	Wireless E-TTL II / E-TTL auto flash
WL TX-MANUAL	Wireless manual flash
WL TX-MULTI	Wireless multi-flash

• The flash attached to the camera is called [Transmitter (TX) unit], and the flash used at a distance from the camera is called [Receiver (RX) unit].
• Please set the flash unit between 0.5m\~ 5m (1.6\~ 16ft) from the subject, and set the camera body between 1m\~ 5m (1.6\~ 16ft) from the subject.

- The Flash head indicating section within the Mode details area may display the WP mark when the wide panel is in use.

BOUNCE FLASH

By firing the flash toward the ceiling or a wall, it is possible to disperse the light and take pictures with soft light and reduced shadows.

The flash head can be set to the upper side at 90^ , the lower side at 7^ , and the right and left sides at 180^ . P.3-(8)

- During bouncing, the BOUNCE mark is indicated in the Status area.

- Choose a white surface for bouncing the flash, otherwise the image's colour may be incorrect. Depending on the reflecting surface, the subject distance and other factors, the effective distance range for TTL AUTO may change.

CLOSE-UP EXPOSURES

By tilting the flash head down to the 7^ position, the lower section of the frame can be bright enough for close-up exposures.

- When it is bounced to the lower side at 7^ , the distance indication in the Status area blinks.

CATCH LIGHT PANEL

This flash is equipped with a built-in catch light panel, which can create a catch light in the eyes of the subject when the bounce flash mode is activated. Slide out the wide panel and catch light panel, then put the wide panel back in its place. (Be careful to slide the panels out smoothly.) P3-(9)

- To create a catch light effectively, tilt the flash head upward 90 degrees and take pictures at a close distance. P.3-(10)

SYNC.TERMINAL

EF-630 has a synchro terminal that can connect to the camera by a commercially available flash synchro cable.

When shooting with a synchro cable, use the Flash in [MANUAL] mode.

With [MENU 2] → [ISO] [F-NUMBER], set the ISO and the aperture (F) value to match that of the camera. Adjust the flash power output in the Mode details area until the distance displayed in the Status area is approximately the same as the distance between the flash and the subject.

Caution!!

E-TTL II / E-TTL auto flash does not work if the Sync.Terminal is used.

The EF-630's Sync.Terminal is compatible with plugs that have a positive (+) polarity on the central pin and a negative (-) polarity on the shield. If the plug has reverse polarity, use a commercially-available polarity conversion cord.

ACCIDENTAL OPERATION PREVENTION

When the power switch is set to the ■ position, operations other than the TEST button and the ● button become disabled, preventing accidental changes to the flash settings.

- Whilst the flash is locked, the mark is displayed in the Status area.

BEEP SOUNDS

Certain conditions of the flash are indicated by a sound, making them easy to recognize without having to look at the LCD panel.

Turn the BEEP switch on the front side of the main body to [ON]. (When it is turned to ON, the ♪ mark is displayed in the Status area.)

One short beep	Indicates the completion of charging.
Two short beeps	Indicates the light adjustment is OK.
Onelong beep (2sec.)	Error warning

DEFINIR OS DETALHES DO MODO DE FLASH

(MODE WL TX-TTL)

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated placeholder underscores where none exist in the GT. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
