ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE FLASH TO AND FROM THE CAMERA Be sure to turn off the Power Switch, Then insert the
Shoe Base into the hot shoe on the camera and turn the
Shoe Locking Ring until it is tight.
■ When you attach or remove the flash, grasp the
bottom of the flash to prevent damage to the shoe foot
and the camera’s hot shoe.
■ If the camera’s built-in flash is set in up position,
please close it before you attach the flash unit.
■ To remove the flash, rotate the shoe-locking ring in the
opposite direction of ◄LOCK mark, until it stops.
When you press the ZOOM button,
the
symbol appears. Each time you press the ZOOM button, the
LCD panel display will change and indicate the zoom position in sequence as follows.
24mm 28mm 35mm 50mm 70mm 85mm 105mm (Auto)
Generally, in the TTL mode, the flash will automatically set the zoom position according to the focal length
of your lens.
■ When you turn on the main switch, the flash will memorize and set the zoom head position to the last
setting used.
■ If you use a lens wider than the flash head setting, there may be under exposed areas around the edge
of the picture.
■ Depending on the flash head setting, the flash’s Guide Number will be changed.
In the case of use with Sigma SD9 SD10 SD14
Due to the size of the camera’s image sensor, when the coverage angle of the flash is set to auto zoom,
coverage angle can effectively reach that of 17mm wide focal length, without using the wide panel,
(However, the coverage angle display of the flash will not show wider than 24mm). When the wide panel
is used, 10mm focal length can be covered. (However, the coverage angle display on the flash will show
17mm.)
When "Manual Flash photography" or "FP Flash photography" is performed, the flash’s coverage angle can
be set automatically by the flash’s autozoom function. However, when used with the camera, the effective
range of the flash’s light can be extended by increasing the zoom setting of the flash to be equal to the
effective focal length of the lens being used by using the ZOOM button. Please refer to the following table
as a guide in setting the flash to the appropriate zoom setting. Please use this table in conjunction with
Table 1 (“Guide Number Table for Manual Flash”) on the last page of this instruction manual, and Table 2
(“Guide Number Table for FP Flash”).

This flash is equipped with built in type wide panel,
which can provide ultra wide 17mm angle of coverage.
Slide out the wide panel and flip it down to cover flash’s
head. Then the coverage angle setting of the flash will
be set to 17mm automatically.
■ If the built-in wide panel comes off accidentally, the
ZOOM button will not function. In this case please
contact the store where the flash was purchased or a
Sigma service station..
