Confirm Distance:

1 : Flash’s LCD panel will show the F-number and working distance of flash automatically.

2 : Set the F-number on the flash to be the same as camera, and check the available working distance range on the LCD panel. To set the F-number on the Flash, push the SEL button until the F-number blinks, and use + or – button to set the F-number. Then press the SEL button again. The F-number will stop blinking.

◆When using Digital SLR cameras, functions will vary depending on the lens type and combinations of exposure modes, same as F5 and F100 group (in chart A), however, they will use D-TTL (i-TTL).

LIMITS OF CONTINUOUS SHOOTING

To prevent overheating of the flash’s circuitry, do not use your Flash unit for at least 10minutes after continiously using the flash as shown in the table below.

Mode	Number of Flash Exposures
TTL, M(1/1,1/2)	15 Continuous Flash Shots
M(1/4, 1/8)	20 Continuous Flash Shots
M(1/16-1/32)	40 Continuous Flash Shots
Multi	10 Cycle

MANUAL FLASH OPERATION

Manual flash is provided for shooting subjects when the correct exposure is difficult to obtain in the TTL mode. In the manual flash mode, you can set the flash power level from 1/1 to 1/64 power in 1/3 stop increments.

1.Set the camera’s exposure mode (A, M modes).

2.Press the MODE button on the flash unit to select M.

3.Press the SEL button to make the guide number value blink.

4.Press + or – button to set the desired flash power output.

5.To stop the manual flash output display blinking, Press the SEL button again.

6.When the Ready Light of the flash is illuminated, the unit is ready for use.
