USE IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER PRODUCTS

Using Early AF Series Single Lens Reflex Cameras

(Maxxum/Minolta 9000, 7000, 5000)

•The optional flash shoe adapter FS-1200 is necessary. See the FS- 1200 manual for details.

Using APS Single Lens Reflex Cameras

(Vectis S-1, S-100)

•Flash is automatic in the P mode. Fill flash may be selected with the flash-mode button on the camera.

•The shutter speed is set automatically in the S mode.

•High-speed sync cannot be used.

•Wireless photography is possible only with [1] on page 41 (Using The Built-In Flash). See the camera manual for details of taking pho- tographs.

•As the S-100 is not equipped with an auto lock accessory shoe, the flash unit cannot be attached to the camera. Use with wireless flash. Ratio-flash control cannot be used. Set to Channel 1.

•APS film (new system) differs in size from 35mm film, so that the flash coverage differs at the same focal length. This flash unit is designed for a flash coverage of 24mm with a focal length for 35mm film, so that when used with APS film focal length flash coverage is 19mm. For example, when the V Zoom 22-80mm f/4-5.6 lens is used the full flash coverage is available.

Using Minolta Digital Cameras

(Dimâge RD3000, Digital camera RD-175)

•Flash is automatic in the P mode. Fill flash is used when a photo is taken while the manual fill-flash button on the camera is pressed.

•The shutter speed is set automatically in the S mode.

•High-speed sync cannot be used.

•As the RD3000 has no built-in flash, only [2] and [3] on page 41 and 42 may be used for wireless flash. Use the spot button for test flash.

•Wireless photography with the RD-175 is possible only with [1] on page 41 (Using The Built-In Flash). See the camera manual for details of taking photographs.
