Wide Panel; Catch Light Panel; Bounce Flash - Sigma EF-630 Mode D'emploi

WIDE PANEL

This flashgun is equipped with a built-in wide panel, which can
provide an ultra-wide 17mm angle of coverage. Slide out the wide
panel and catch light panel and flip it down to cover the flash's head.
(Be careful to slide the panels out smoothly.) Then put the catch light
panel back in its place. P.3-(7)
The Flash head indicating section within the Mode details area

may display the mark when the wide panel is in use.

BOUNCE FLASH

By firing the flash toward the ceiling or a wall, it is possible to
disperse the light and take pictures with soft light and reduced
shadows.
The flash head can be set to the upper side at 90°, the lower side at
7°, and the right and left sides at 180°. P.3-(8)

Choose a white surface for bouncing the flash, otherwise the

image's colour may be incorrect. Depending on the reflecting
surface, the subject distance and other factors, the effective
distance range for TTL AUTO may change.
CLOSE-UP EXPOSURES
By tilting the flash head down to the 7° position, the lower section of
the frame can be bright enough for close-up exposures.
When it is bounced to the lower side at 7°, the distance indication

CATCH LIGHT PANEL

This flash is equipped with a built-in catch light panel, which can
create a catch light in the eyes of the subject when the bounce flash
mode is activated. Slide out the wide panel and catch light panel,
then put the wide panel back in its place. (Be careful to slide the
panels out smoothly.) P.3-(9)
To create a catch light effectively, tilt the flash head upward 90

degrees and take pictures at a close distance. P.3-(10)
SYNC.TERMINAL
EF-630 has a synchro terminal that can connect to the camera by a
commercially available flash synchro cable.
When shooting with a synchro cable, use the Flash in [MANUAL]
mode.
With [MENU 2] → [ISO] [F-NUMBER], set the ISO and the aperture
(F) value to match that of the camera. Adjust the flash power output
in the Mode details area until the distance displayed in the Status
area is approximately the same as the distance between the flash
and the subject.
Caution!!
E-TTL II / E-TTL auto flash does not work if the Sync.Terminal is
used.
The EF-630's Sync.Terminal is compatible with plugs that have a
positive (+) polarity on the central pin and a negative (-) polarity on
the shield. If the plug has reverse polarity, use a commercially-
available polarity conversion cord.
