Bounce-flash function with movable flash head
The flash head can be tilted up by upto 90 , to the left by 180 , or to the
right by 90 .
Bounce photography, in which light is reflected off a white wall
or the ceiling or a reflector, increases your range of photographic expression.
As the flash head can also be tilted down by 7 , light can also be used for
close-up shots.
Auto Power-Off function prevents wasted power
Even if the flash is left with the power on, it automatically shuts off, if
it is not operated for a certain length of time.
This conserves battery power in
flash photography. When the shutter button is depressed halfway, the power turns
on again, and charging resumes.
AF auxiliary light is very convenient for photography in a dark
place|
AF may not work appropriately in a dark place. However, the AF auxiliary
light mechanism of EF-530 DG SUPER lets you control AF even in situations where
autofocusing is difficult. (With some cameras, AF auxiliary light may not work,
please refer to a compatibility table)
Manual Switching of the amount of light
The flash power level of the EF-530 DG SUPER can be set from full to 1/128
for Sigma and Canon mounts, and full to 1/64 for Sony, Nikon, and Pentax
mounts.
TTL Wireless Flash Function
TTL wireless flash function allows the flash to be positioned and operated
from a location away from the camera.
Operation and features of EF-530DG Super
change according to the camera model in use.The Sigma, Konica-Minolta/Sony,
Nikon (D80, D70, D70s, D200 only), Pentax
*istD, cameras’ built-in flash can be used for triggering the EF-530 DG
SUPER, located away from the camera.
The models for Sigma (SD10), Canon, Pentax D-SLRs, and Nikon (D50, D40, D40x,
D2 Series and F6) can utilize an EF-530 DG Super mounted on the camera hotshoe
for triggering single or multiple EF-530 DG Super units located away from the
camera.
Slave Flash
The Designated Slave function allows you use of two or more EF-530 DG SUPER
flash units and also flashguns can fire together by using the channel settings.
Since the EF-530 DG SUPER is equipped with this function, it can be used with
all camera models.
It is also possible to use the camera’s built-in flash or
another flash unit in Normal Slave mode (Flash Exposure must be adjusted
manually).
Modeling flash function to check for shadows
Like a studio flash unit equipped with a modeling lamp, the EF-530 DG SUPER
also offers a modeling flash function, enabling the user to check for intense
reflections and shadows, before actually taking the flash picture. (for Sigma,
SONY, Canon, and Pentax cameras).
FP flash function for high shutter speeds
For focal-plane shutters, the flash synchronization speed is limited to
coincide with full shutter opening, thus limiting the use of high shutter speeds
with flash. The FP Flash function makes flash photography possible at shutter
speeds greater than the normal synchronization speed.
When the lens diaphragm is
set to larger apertures to limit depth of field in synchronized daytime
shooting, high shutter speeds can be used to balance the daylight and the flash
light, at any shutter speed.
This function is not available with some cameras
models. For details please refer to compatibility table.
Rear-curtain synchro flash mechanism for natural representation of
motion
When shooting a moving subject in slow synchro photography, selection of the
rear-curtain synchro mode allows the flash to be triggered immediately before
the rear-curtain of the shutter closes.
Unlike front-curtain synchro, this mode
records blurred trails behind the subject rather than in front, for a more
natural expression of motion. Rear-Curtain Synchro function cannot be used with
some camera models.
It can be used with cameras providing rear-curtain sync.
only. For details please refer to compatibility table.
