• Flashes with reversed polarity (the center contact on the hot shoe is minus) cannot be used due to the risk of damaging the camera and flash.

•Do not combine with accessories that have a different number of contacts, such as a Hot Shoe Grip, as a malfunction may occur.

•Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause equipment breakdown. We recommend using the AF540FGZ, AF360FGZ or AF200FG.
