Test Firing
To test the functioning of the flash, press the pilot lamp after it has lit. If the flash fires, it is in proper working order.
Turn the main switch OFF (”O” mark) when flash photography is finished to prevent unnecessary battery consumption. The Canon Speedlite 300TL has a built-in SE (Save-Energy) function that automatically turns off the power when the flash is not used for approx. 5 minutes. To use this function, slide the main switch to the “SE” position.
To use the flash after it has turned off automatically, either press the shutter button halfway or set the main switch to the “|” position and then again to the “SE” position.
Interval flash photography is possible if the Commnad Back 90 is used with the 300TL. Set the Command Back 90 to the interval timer or self-timer mode and set the 300TL to the “SE” position . (The flash charge will start one minute before the shutter release).
