Using the Manual Flash Mode
You can also set the VS-570’s flash output level manually for greater creative control over your images. Seven
manual settings are available: 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, and 1/64. The 1/1 setting is the full-power flash,
and each successive setting halves the light output. To use the manual mode, turn the flash and camera on
and follow these steps:
1. Press the Mode button repeatedly to cycle through
the flash modes until “M” and the flash output level
indicator show on the LCD. Press the up or down
buttons to set the desired flash output level. The
output level will cycle through in both directions.
2. Set the exposure settings you want to use on your
camera. The highest shutter speed available will
be your camera’s flash sync speed. To use higher
shutter speeds, switch to automatic TTL mode and
activate high-speed sync (see
Using High-Speed Sync on page 18).
3. Take a test shot, and check the exposure on your camera’s LCD.
4. Adjust your camera’s exposure settings and the light output level of the flash as needed.
