5.2 Blitztilstande og -indstillinger
The 540EZ offers several modes and features:
- A-TTL (Advanced Through-The-Lens) Automatic Flash: This is the primary automatic mode for compatible Canon EOS film cameras. The flash automatically evaluates shooting conditions and sets aperture and shutter speed.
- Manuel tilstand: Allows for manual control over flash output. Consult your camera's manual for specific settings when using manual flash.
- Auto Zoom Head: The flash head automatically adjusts its zoom position (24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 70mm, 80mm, 105mm) to match the focal length of your lens.
- Bounce Flash: The flash head can be tilted and swiveled to bounce light off ceilings or walls for softer, more natural illumination.
- AF Auxiliary Light: Emits a red light to assist the camera's autofocus system in low-light conditions.
Important: This flash is designed for film AF cameras. While it may physically mount on some digital cameras, its advanced TTL functions will not operate correctly, and it should only be used in manual mode with digital cameras, if at all, to avoid potential damage.
