Modeling illumination
When the modeling illumination button is pressed, the flash fires
repeatedly at a reduced flash output level. This is useful for checking the
glare and shadows cast on a subject before actually taking the picture.
• The flash fires as a modeling illuminator for up to approx. 1 second.
• When the depth-of-field preview button on a camera compatible with
modeling illumination is pressed, the modeling illuminator fires. For
details, see the camera user’s manual.

level and the selected mode.
