  • Agħfas MODALITÀ until "E-TTL" appears on the LCD screen (refer to Figure 4.5).
  • You can adjust Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) using the directional buttons (e.g., +1/3, +2/3, etc.) if needed. Press SET biex tikkonferma.

  • Use the directional buttons to adjust the flash output from 1/1 (full power) to 1/128, with 22 levels of fine tuning.
  • Agħfas SET to confirm the power setting.

6.3. Modalità Multipla (Stroboskopika)

Multi mode fires the flash multiple times during a single exposure, creating stroboscopic effects for capturing motion.

  • Agħfas MODALITÀ until "Multi" appears on the LCD screen (refer to Figure 4.5).

  • To activate slave mode, press and hold the T/CH/D button until "SLAVE" appears, then use directional buttons to select S1 or S2.
  • The unit supports 4 channels in 3 groups for more complex multi-flash setups.

7. Karatteristiċi Avvanzati

7.1. Exposure Compensation

In E-TTL mode, you can adjust the flash exposure compensation to fine-tune the brightness of your subject. Use the directional buttons to increase or decrease the exposure value.

7.2. Front-Curtain Sync / Rear-Curtain Sync

The JY-610C supports both front-curtain and rear-curtain sync. This setting is typically controlled via your camera's flash menu. Consult your camera's manual for specific instructions on how to enable these features.

  • Front-Curtain Sync: The flash fires immediately after the shutter opens.
  • Sinkronizzazzjoni tal-Purtiera ta' Wara: The flash fires just before the shutter closes. Useful for creating motion blur effects with the flash freezing the subject at the end of the exposure.

7.3. Adjustable Vertical Angle

The flash head can be tilted vertically to angles of 60, 75, and 90 degrees. This allows for bounce flash photography, directing the light off a ceiling or wall for softer, more natural illumination.
