6. Кіраванне ўспышкай

6.1 Уключэнне/выключэнне сілкавання

Locate the power switch on the flash unit. Slide it to the "ON" position to power on the flash. The ready light will illuminate once the flash is fully charged and ready to fire. Slide the switch to "OFF" when not in use to conserve battery life.

6.2 Manual Mode (On-Camera)

When mounted on a camera's hot shoe, the FM650 operates as a basic manual flash. It will fire simultaneously with your camera's shutter. You will need to adjust your camera's aperture, ISO, and shutter speed settings to achieve the desired exposure. The flash output is fixed, so exposure control is managed entirely through camera settings.

6.3 Slave Mode (Off-Camera)

The FM650 features an optical slave function, allowing it to be triggered wirelessly by another flash. This is useful for multi-flash setups.

1. Ensure the flash is powered on and the ready light is illuminated.
2. Position the FM650 so its optical slave sensor (usually a small clear or red window on the front) can "see" the light from your main flash unit.
3. When your main flash fires, the FM650's optical sensor will detect the light pulse and trigger the FM650 to fire simultaneously.

Note: The FM650 is a basic optical slave and may not distinguish between pre-flashes (used for red-eye reduction or TTL metering) and the main flash. If your main flash uses pre-flashes, the FM650 might fire prematurely. For best results, use a main flash that does not emit pre-flashes, or use the FM650 with a camera that allows for manual flash control without pre-flashes.
