Operating Your Flash and Running a Test Flash

Slide the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. After a few seconds the Test/Ready lamp should illuminate, indicating that the flash is ready to use. Press the Test/Ready button to make sure that your flash works properly. If the flash discharges, it should be working properly. Wait until the Ready lamp glows again to use once more. Adjust your camera to the appropriate setting. Most cameras should be set to the program position (see your camera's manual for details

on flash synchronization.) When the flash is ready to fire, it will automatically match the camera's shutter speed. The flash readiness indicator will appear on the camera. Different camera models indicate

flash readiness in different ways (see your camera's manual).

Point the digital camera at the subject and focus. Press the shutter

button on the digital camera half way down to check the image. Then press the shutter button all the way down firmly. The Auto OK indicator will light when the picture is exposed correctly.
