7When the macro flash controller is charged, press theshutter button to take a photo.

The macro flash controller is charged when the flash-ready lamp on the control panel of the macro flash controller and the indicator in the camera viewfinder are both on.

When the correct exposure has been obtained for the photo just taken, the flash-ready lamp on the control panel blinks.

The photo will be under-exposed if taken before charging is complete.

The use of a tripod or remote cord is recommended to reduce camera shake.

A camera-to-subject distance of less than 0.5m, and a magnification ratio of more than 0.15X (greater than 1:7), are recommended to get the best results from the macro flash units.

Always turn off the macro flash controller if the twin flash unit is not connected. If the twin flash unit is not attached, but the controller is on, the camera flash sync will be in effect and the resulting ambient exposures will be incorrect.

The camera’s AF illuminator is blocked by the adaptor ring or twin flash unit and cannot be used for focusing.
