How to set and use the Wide Panel on the flash.

Solution

With the built-in wide panel in place, the flash coverage will be compatible with ultra wide-angle lenses as short as 14mm
Pull out the wide panel and place it over the flash head as shown
  • The button will not work
  • The flash coverage will not be compatible with the EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye lens
  • For effective lens focal length (of crop factor) refer to the camera's instruction manual
  • If you use bounce flash with the wide panel in place, the entire display on the LCD panel will blink as a warning. Since the subject will be illuminated by the bounce flash and direct flash, it will look unnatural.
  • Pull out the wide panel gently. Using excessive force may detach the wide panel
