Function Settings and Description

C.Fn-00 Distance indicator

display

0–meters/1–feet. Depending upon where you live,

set this to the most common distance designation.

C.Fn-01 Auto power off 0–Enabled/1–Disabled. Auto power off turns the

ﬂ ash off automatically after a certain period of

inactivity (not user-speciﬁ ed, but between 1.5 minutes

and 15 minutes) to save battery power. Press the

shutter button or Pilot Lamp button to reactivate

the Speedlite. I choose 1 to disable this function

whenever working with off-camera Speedlites.

C.Fn-02 Modeling ﬂ ash 0–Enabled (DOF preview button)/1–Enabled (Test-

ﬁ ring button)/2–Enabled (both buttons)/3–Disabled.

You can choose which buttons you want to use to

ﬁ re the modeling ﬂ ash.

C.Fn-07 Test ﬁ ring with

autoﬂ ash

0–1/32 power/1–full power. This allows the user to

set the power level of the test ﬂ ash. I use 0 to save

battery life when I just want to check if the ﬂ ash is

working, and 1 when I’m metering the ﬂ ash output

with a handheld light meter.

C.Fn-08 AF-assist beam

ﬁ ring

0–Enabled/1–Disabled. Use this setting when you

don’t need the AF-assist beam to focus the camera

or in situations such as performance photography,

where the beam would be distracting to others.

C.Fn-09 Auto zoom for

sensor size

0–Enabled/1–Disabled. EOS digital cameras have

one of three different sensor sizes. The Speedlite

automatically recognizes the sensor size and adjusts

the ﬂ ash zoom for proper coverage.

C.Fn-10 Slave auto power

off timer

0–60 minutes/1–10 minutes. This allows the user to

set the time interval during which the Speedlite

stays active when used as a slave. I prefer the

longer setting to make adjustments to the set,

model, or lighting without having the slave ﬂ ash

power down and have to be reset.

C.Fn-11 Slave auto power

off cancel

0–Within 8 hours/1–Within 1 hour. You can specify

the time range during which the slave unit’s auto

power off feature can be cancelled by the master.

Again, I prefer the longer time setting.

C.Fn-14 Flash range/

Aperture info

0–Maximum distance/1–Aperture display. This allows

the LCD display of the Speedlite to give you different

information. When you press the shutter button down

halfway, the maximum effective range (distance) of

the ﬂ ash will be displayed with setting 0, and the

aperture range will be displayed with setting 1.
