Tips on Speedlight care

Notes on cleaning

Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the SB-27 and clean lightly with a soft, clean cloth .

—Do not use commercial cleaners containing active agents such as paint thinner or benzene.

Maintenance

When not using the SB-27 for prolonged period of time (more than two weeks), be sure to remove the batteries before storage. Take the SB-27 out about once a month, insert the batteries and fire the unit several times to prevent the condenser from deteriorating.

Finally make sure the ready-light is on, before turning the power off and removing the batteries.

Storage

Store the SB-27 in a cool, dry place to prevent mold. Also keep it away from chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene. Avoid exposing the SB-27 to magnetic waves (TV or radio) and high temperatures (e.g. car interiors or heaters.)
