Foreword

Congratulations on purchasing our

flash 28 CS-2 digital and thank you for the confi- dence in our products.

The following pages give useful instructions for proper operation of the flash unit and a survey of all its sophisticated functions.

Please read these operating instructions carefully, even if one or the other point may not appear to be very insteresting at first sight. Although our de- signers have attached great importance to making the operation of the flash unit as simple as pos- sible, the cameras with which it will eventually be

￿used often offer a great diversity of capabilities.

Please also fold open the illustrated page at the end of these instructions.

We wish you great pleasure with this new flash unit.
