manual abstract
Shooting 1 Make sure that your camera and this unit are turned on. 2 Set your camera to the desired shooting mode. Refer to the operating instructions of your camera for shooting modes. When you set your camera to shutter speed priority (S) mode or manual exposure (M) mode, you cannot select a shutter speed faster than the flash sync speed*. * Flash sync speed is the maximum shutter speed that you can use with a flash. 3 After charging of this unit is completed, press the shutter button to shoot a subject. When charging is completed, the CHG lamp of this unit turns amber. When the proper exposure can again be obtained after shooting, the CHG lamp blinks amber. Notes If you shoot before charging is completed, you may not be able to get enough lighting (under exposure). When using the flash in self-timer shooting, make sure that charging is completed before pressing the shutter button. When your camera is in auto flash mode, the flash may not fire depending on the lighting conditions. Overheat protection Overheat protection is a function for protecting this unit from overheating. If this unit gets warm when used in continuous flash mode or in a hot environment, flash firing is automatically disabled. When overheating is detected, the POWER lamp blinks in red at one-second intervals. Flash firing cannot be re-enabled until this unit cools down. When this unit is in an overheated state, leave it without any operation for 10 minutes to cool down. . BOUNCE Switch If you fire a flash directly at a subject just in front of a wall, harsh shadows appear on the wall (see illustration .-.) When shooting in a room with a low ceiling, you can soften these shadows by setting the BOUNCE switch to [BOUNCE] so that the flashtube of this unit tilts upward and emits light at the ceiling. Light reflects off the ceiling and illuminates the subject to produce a soft-lit image (see illustration .-.). In outdoor shooting, setting the BOUNCE switch to [DIRECT] lets you illuminate a subject at a distance that a built-in flash cannot reach. BOUNCE: the flashtube is set at 75 degrees upward (bounce flash) DIRECT: the flashtube is set at 0 degrees (direct flash) Slide the BOUNCE switch to the desired position (see illustration . -1). Notes Make sure you slide the BOUNCE switch until the A mark is aligned with the desired position mark. The ceiling or wall that reflects the flash light should be white or very pale. If it is colored, the color may affect the image. The reflecting surface should not be a high ceiling or glass. When [BOUNCE] is set, the flash range is reduced. If an image is under exposed (the shot looks dark), get closer to the subject, increase the ISO sensitivity or open the aperture more. . TELE Switch In outdoor shooting, if a subject is too far from the camera to be reached by the flash from this unit (the subject is out of flash range), set the TELE switch of this unit to [Tele position] (see illustration .). The flash from this unit can now reach a further range. Notes Set the TELE switch to [Standard position] for regular shooting. When setting the TELE switch, turn it firmly until the B mark is aligned with the desired position. If the lens angle is wider than the selected flash angle, the outer areas of the image may become dark. See “Zoom flash range” for the flash range of each position. The TELE switch is enabled only when the BOUNCE switch is set to [DIRECT]. If this unit is attached to a camera with a built-in flash that operates as an AF illuminator, AF accuracy may be greatly reduced in night view shooting. Wireless Control If your camera does not have a built-in flash, you can attach this unit to your camera and use it as a wireless controller for an off-camera flash. An off-camera flash is a flash used separately from a camera. In this manual, a flash attached to the camera is referred to as a controller and a flash used separately from the camera is referred to as an off-camera flash. An off-camera flash may also be referred to as a remote flash. 1 Connect this unit to your camera, and set the power switches of your camera, off-camera flash and this unit to [ON]. 2 Set the mode of your camera and off-camera flash as follows. Camera: Set the mode to [Wireless]. Refer to the operating instructions of your camera for details. Off-camera flash: Set the off-camera flash to [Wireless remote mode] and the wireless channel to [CH1]. Refer to the operating instructions of your off-camera flash for details. 3 Set your camera and off-camera flash. Refer to the operating instructions of your off-camera flash for how to set it. 4 Make sure the off-camera flash and this unit are fully charged. 5 Fire a test flash to check the off-camera flash. The flash test differs depending on the camera. Refer to the operating instructions of your camera. If your off-camera flash does not fire, change the position of your camera, offcamera flash and the subject and try a test flash again. 6 Make sure that this unit and your off-ca...
