Modos de funcionamento

The Andoer AD-980II offers multiple flash modes to suit various photographic needs. Use the MODO button on the control panel to cycle through the available modes.

This image displays the Andoer AD-980II flash unit alongside a graphic illustrating its various operational modes and features, including its Guide Number (GN58), E-TTL, Manual, Multi (Stroboscopic), High-Speed Sync (HSS), Rear-Curtain Sync, S1/S2 optical slave modes, Master and Slave wireless functions, fine control, and zoom capabilities.

1. E-TTL Mode (Automatic Flash)

In E-TTL (Evaluative Through-The-Lens) mode, the flash automatically determines the optimal flash output based on the camera's metering system. This mode is ideal for quick and accurate exposures in various lighting conditions.

This image shows the Andoer AD-980II flash in use, highlighting its E-TTL functionality for automatic and balanced flash exposure when photographing subjects like a model.

2. Modo manual (M)

Manual mode allows you to set the flash output power manually from 1/1 (full power) to 1/128 in 1/3 stop increments. This provides precise control over lighting for creative effects.

3. Multi Mode (Stroboscopic Flash)

Multi mode fires a series of rapid flashes during a single exposure, creating a stroboscopic effect that captures multiple movements of a subject in one frame. You can adjust the flash frequency (Hz), number of flashes, and flash output.

4. S1/S2 Slave Modes (Optical Triggering)

• Modo S1: The flash will fire in response to the first flash from a master flash. Suitable for manual flash units.
• Modo S2: The flash will ignore the pre-flash from a master flash (e.g., TTL flash) and fire on the main flash.

5. Master and Slave Functionality

The AD-980II can function as both a master unit to control other slave flashes or as a slave unit triggered by a master flash. It supports 4 channels in 3 groups for flexible wireless setups.

6. High-Speed Sync (HSS) - Max 1/8000s

HSS allows the flash to synchronize with shutter speeds faster than the camera's native sync speed (e.g., 1/250s), up to 1/8000s. This is useful for freezing fast motion or using wide apertures in bright conditions.

7. Rear-Curtain Sync

In Rear-Curtain Sync mode, the flash fires just before the second curtain closes. This creates a natural-looking trail of light behind moving subjects, especially effective with slower shutter speeds.

This image demonstrates the photographic effects achievable with the Andoer AD-980II, including freezing fast motion with 1/8000s HSS, capturing multiple exposures with Multi Mode, and creating motion trails with Rear-Curtain Sync.

8. Outras características

• Indicación sonora: Audible alerts for flash readiness and other functions.
• Modo de aforro de enerxía: Automatically enters sleep mode after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.
• Protección contra sobrecalentamento: Automatically reduces flash output or temporarily disables the flash to prevent overheating during rapid firing.
