LOADING BATTERIES

Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in OFF position. Slide open the battery cover and insert 2 x AA batteries in the direction shown by the symbols in the battery compartment. Close the battery cover. Inserting batteries with the wrong polarity may cause the batteries to overheat, leak, explode and/or damage the flash. Switch the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The ready indicator will light within a few seconds if the batteries are properly installed. When you need to replace the batteries, be sure all of the batteries are the same brand, type and capacity.

ATTACHING THE FLASH TO YOUR

CAMERA

The flash can be mounted directly onto camera’s hot shoe socket. If hot shoe socket contacts on your camera do not match the contacts on the foot of the flash, do not mount the flash onto the camera. If the

contacts do not match, your camera or flash may be damaged. If you do not have a hot shoe on your camera, the flash may be connected using the synchro cord (included) to connect to the camera’s PC sync terminal.

USING THE FLASH

Switch the flash to the ON position. Refer to the Exposure Table on the back of the flash, estimate the camera to subject distance and note the film speed in order to get the correct camera lens aperture setting. The aperture can be calculated using this formula:

Aperture (f) = guide number (GN) / flash to subject distance (m) Example: Flash Used = FM650

Film speed: ISO 100; Flash to subject distance: 5.0m The correct aperture should be f4.
