- Page 23 2. Multi-flash Lighting Application Use inbuilt flash or top-mounted flash as master flash. Place the slave flash light in desired location. When outdoors, radio signals can be reflected by walls; therefore, place the slave flash where it has enough space to receive the signal. Before locating the slave flash light, make a test of whether S1/S2 can work synchronously (normally).
- Page 24 5. High-speed continuous shooting The YN560 flash light can work with high-speed continuous shooting. Please set the camera in the continuous shooting mode and then shoot. Please note: The number of photos that can be continuous shot is inversely related to the output level.
- Page 25 6. Rear-curtain Sync You can use slow shutter speeds to produce trailing smear for the object as the flash light will flash at the moment when the shutter is going to close; called rear-curtain sync. (The rear-curtain sync function needs support from the camera’s own settings; you should refer to the camera’s instruction book on how to set this mode).
- Page 26 8. Using the built-in Bounce Card Draw out the built-in bounce card and the wide-angle diffusion board from the flash head at the same time and then push the wide-angle diffusion board back in. In this way, if this flash light is used to take photos, it will produce a highlight point on the eyes of the subject and thus make the eyes more appealing (catch light).
- Page 27 9. Using the built-in Wide-angle Diffuser Pull out the wide-angle diffusion board and the built-in bounce card, and then push back the bounce board and arrange them as per the illustration. Used thus, the flash light will have an effective focal length of 18 mm and the flash effect will be softer and more natural.
