Off-Camera Accessories

The following off-camera accessories are available.

• Off-camera cable

•Off-camera shoe

•Extension cable

•Cable CD

• Triple connector TC-1000

The off-camera cable allows the flash to be used from any position. Use of the extension cable allows of the distance from the camera to be further extended. Use of the cable CD and triple connector TC-1000 allows photography with multiple flash units.

•With the 5600HS (D), the off-camera cable may be connected directly to the flash accessory terminal without the need to use the off-camera shoe. Use the off-camera shoe when the flash is used on a tripod.

External Battery Pack EP-2 Set

The external battery pack contains six AA-size alkaline batteries. It reduces charging time by half, and doubles the number of flashes possible.

Bounce Reflector V Set

This reflector is attached to the 5600HS (D) flash for simple bounce illumination photography outdoors, and indoors where no reflective sur- faces are available. The unit folds easily for convenient carrying.

•The flash range is not displayed on the data panel. High-speed sync is also cleared.

•If you already have Bounce Reflector Sets III or IV, it is only necessary to purchase the adapter. The reflector part is the same.

Use Of Other Accessories With The 5600HS (D)

•The control grip CG-1000 does not allow correct control, and therefore cannot be used with the 5600HS (D).
