Joy of Flash Photography  
Fill-in flash and Light diffusing panel  
For short distance or portrait flash photography, we wish if the light is  
not too sharp or too strong to the subject. Use fill-in reflector flash or  
diffuse the light.  
TTL flash power compensation  
Ch1 Group A  
With the latest TTL flash control system, the  
D
F
flash power level is always automatically  
controlled by the camera for the most  
appropriate exposure. You wish if you can  
soften or weaken the flash light, or give more  
light to the subject without changing the  
environmental or background exposure effect  
Di622 Mark II can make it possible quickly  
for each shot at respective occasion of flash  
picture.  
If the subject is close(within 2 meter), turn the flash  
head 90° upward and pull out the fill-in reflector as  
shown in the picture.  
Take a picture as usual. A blink of fill-in flash  
freshens up the subject in natural image.  
This small blink of flash is also useful when  
taking a picture of baby without scaring  
him.  
TTL flash power compensation is provided in 7 steps by half Ev  
increment for -1.5, -1.0, -0.5, 0, +0.5, +1.0, and +1.5 Ev.  
Set the Flash power level select button to the power level you desire.  
This technology is also useful to eliminate  
the shadow on the subject under the tree.  
For portrait photography, pull out the light diffusing panel and place it  
over the flash window as shown in the picture. The diffusing panel  
makes the flash light soften and creates a lively color effect on the  
subject.  
When Di622 Mark II shows no level indication LED is turned on, the  
flash power compensation level is at even (0 Ev) level as default  
Press the flash power select button, by each press of + marked knob,  
it sets the power of +0.5 +1.0 +1.5 Ev. and the - marked knob  
sets it to -0.5 -1.0 -1.5 Ev. The power level indication lamp  
Take a picture and the aimed subject is shown with required lighting  
effect by keeping the background exposure level as originally  
Since the light diffusing panel expands the lighting area, it covers the  
range of 16mm focal length lens.  
On some cameras, the TTL flash power compensation setting is  
provided in its menu mode.  
When setting the TTL flash power compensation on your camera, the  
same of Di622 Mark II is, in this case, to be counted in addition to  
the compensation you selected in the camera’s menu mode.  
 
Bounce lighting  
Flash Power Lock  
When the back ground of the main subject is too bright, the camera’s  
exposure reading system adjusts the flash light intensity for such back  
ground condition and it result the main subject underexposed. Or in case  
the main subject is not placed in the center of the viewfinder, flash picture  
may result the aimed subject under or over exposure.  
You can lock the correct flash exposure for the aimed subject in such a  
condition. This flash exposure pre-set remains locked in, even if you  
change the aperture or zoom the lens in and out. This mode can only be  
set on the camera.  
When lighting a subject in front of the  
wall, an unnecessary sharp shadow  
on the wall results the picture  
disappointed. Bounce the light off the  
ceiling or wall to soften the light on  
the subject, and the shadow fade out.  
Turn the flash head up. It turns upward to 45° >60° >75° >90°.  
Or tilt the flash head sideway to left 30° >60° >90° or to right 30°  
>60° >90° >120° >150° >180°.
