The Modeling Light
The modeling light gives the appearance
of a continuous light so you can
approximate how the flash will illuminate
your subject, and is available on cameras
that have a Depth of Field Preview
button. To activate the modeling light
feature, press your camera’s Depth of
Field Preview button. The flash will pulse
rapidly to simulate the direction of light.
Note: Using the modeling light will greatly
decrease your batteries’ output.
Autofocus Assist
Camera autofocus (AF) systems can
have diculty locking onto a subject
in dim light or low-contrast scenes.
The FreeWave IR Commander can
emit a red autofocus-assist beam to
help your camera focus automatically
by locking onto the projected light.
To enable AF assist on the Commander,
press the FN button. The AF-ILL
icon [ ] will appear on the
Commander’s LCD when this feature is
enabled. When your camera’s internal
AF-ILL is on, it will enable the camera’s
AF assist but not the Commander’s. For
further details, see the table below.
