Flash-Modi

The FJ80 II supports various flash modes for different photographic needs:

• Manueller Modus (M): Allows precise control over flash power output. Adjust power levels directly on the touchscreen.
• TTL-Modus (Through-The-Lens): Automatically adjusts flash output based on camera metering for balanced exposure.
• Hochgeschwindigkeitssynchronisierung (HSS): Enables flash synchronization at shutter speeds faster than the camera's native sync speed, useful for freezing action or overpowering ambient light.
• Synchronisation des vorderen Vorhangs: Blitzartige Feuer zu Beginn der Belichtung.
• Synchronisation des hinteren Vorhangs: Flash fires at the end of the exposure, creating a motion blur effect behind the subject.

Drahtlose Kommunikation

The FJ80 II features reliable wireless communication with a range of up to 328 feet (100 meters). This allows for flexible off-camera lighting setups. Refer to your camera's manual for specific wireless flash triggering instructions if using it as a master or slave unit.

Wartung

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your FJ80 II Speedlight.

• Lagerung: When not in use, store the speedlight in its travel case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods.
• Batteriepflege: Recharge the battery regularly, even if not in frequent use, to maintain its health. Avoid fully depleting the battery before recharging.
