3.For precise flash output, it is best to wait till an intermittent humming sound is heard before depressing the shutter.
4.Maintain at least 2m away from your subject.
5.Always set the flash zoom head position according to the zoom position of your camera lens.
6.In the event that the flash exposure is incorrect (over or under exposed or green auto check light does not lit up), you may take either one or more of the corrective action: (1) move closer to the subject (2)
(4) Increase ISO setting.
7.Bounce or swivel should only be used on lighter colour ceiling or white walls with zoom head set at the 50mm position. Note that when using this feature,
8.Always use a fresh set of 4 batteries of the same brand and type when old batteries are depleted. Mix and match batteries of different types/brands will greatly deteriorate flash performance.
9.When flash is not being used for extended period of time (>2 weeks), remove all batteries to prevent battery leakage. After batteries removal, do not expose the flash unit and batteries to excessive heat such as fire or sun.
10.Charge up and test fire the flash unit at least once per month to maintain the optimal performance of the flash tube and charging capacitor.

TTL AV, TV AND M MODE
When this flash unit is used in AV, TV or M mode, the flash exposure will be automatically controlled by the camera based on the combination of shutter speed and aperture value.
*For TV mode, do not exceed the maximum camera’s flash synchronization speed. In AV mode, setting at a slow speed will usually result in blur pictures caused by handshake. In such situation, the use of tripod is recommended.
SECOND/REAR CURTAIN SYNCHRONIZATION
This mode permits you to release the flash just before the shutter closes during slow shutter speed shooting. In this way, a trail of lighting can be taken behind the main subject when slow shutter speed is being used.
*For rear curtain synchronization setting, refer to your camera instruction manual.
RED EYE REDUCTION
When red eye reduction is activated on the DSLR body, the flash unit will activate a series of preflash before the main flash to reduce the possibility of
USING ZOOM HEAD
For proper angle coverage, set the flash zoom head position according to the zoom position of the camera lens.
