Two types of photomagnetic effects were found in YFeO
3by NMR method. At

K there exist the relaxation effect involving the change of domain wall thickness caused by the wall\´s displacement. The illumination of the sample shortens the recovery time. The above effect depends on the domain wall position and is reversible. At helium temperatures irradiation of the sample lowers the enhancement factor. This process is irreversible and does not depend on domain wall position. All the above effects disappear after annealing the sample in a hydrogen atmosphere. This fact suggests, that relaxation processes are connected with the presence of Fe
4+ions.
