Shooting
1 Make sure that your camera and this unit are turned on.
2 Set your camera to the desired shooting mode.
Refer to the operating instructions of y our camera for shooting modes.
When you set your camera to shutter speed priority (S) mode or manual exposure
(M) mode, you cannot select a shutter speed faster than the ash sync speed*.
* Flash sync speed is the maximum shutter speed that you can use with a ash.

to shoot a subject.
When charging is completed, the CHG lamp of this unit turns amber.
When the proper exposure can again be obtained aer shooting, the CHG lamp
blinks amber.
Notes
If you shoot before charging is completed, you may not be able to get enough ˎ
lighting (under exposure).
When using the ash in self-timer shooting, make sure that charging is completed ˎ
before pressing the shutter button.
When your camera is in auto ash mode, the ash may not re depending on the ˎ
lighting conditions.
Overheat protection
Overheat protection is a function for protecting this unit from overheating. If this unit
gets warm when used in continuous ash mode or in a hot environment, ash ring is
automatically disabled.
When overheating is detected, the POWER lamp blinks in red at one-second ˎ
intervals.
Flash ring cannot be re-enabled until this unit cools down. ˎ
When this unit is in an overheated state, leave it without any operation for 10 ˎ
minutes to cool down.
BOUNCE Switch
If you re a ash directly at a subject just in front of a wall, harsh shadows appear on
the wall.
When shooting in a room with a low ceiling, you can soen these shadows by setting
the BOUNCE switch to [BOUNCE] so that the ashtube of this unit tilts upward and
emits light at the ceiling. Light reects o the ceiling and illuminates the subject to
produce a so-lit image.
In outdoor shooting, setting the BOUNCE switch to [DIRECT] lets you illuminate a
subject at a distance that a built-in ash cannot reach.
BOUNCE: the ashtube is set at 75 degrees upward (bounce ash) ˎ
DIRECT: the ashtube is set at 0 degrees (direct ash) ˎ
Slide the BOUNCE switch to the desired position.

camera itself.
Do not carry the camera in a bag etc. with this unit attached. Doing so may damage ˎ
the camera or this unit.
When changing the shoe POWER switch to the [OFF] position, be careful not to ˎ
catch your nger in the hinge. It may cause injury.
Batteries
e displayed battery level may be lower than the actual battery capacity depending ˎ
on the temperature and storage conditions. e displayed level usually becomes
accurate aer you use this unit a few times.
e output of Nickel-metal hydride batteries drops suddenly when the batteries ˎ
become low. You may not be able to use this unit soon aer the POWER lamp turns
red.
e frequency and number of ashes of this unit may be dierent from those ˎ
shown in the specication table even when new batteries are installed, depending
on their date of production.
Turn the power o and wait several minutes before removing the batteries. Be ˎ
careful when touching the batteries because they may be hot, depending on the
battery type and conditions of use.
Remove and store the batteries if you do not intend to use this unit for a long time. ˎ
Temperature
e operating temperature range of this unit is between 0 °C and 40 °C. ˎ
Do not expose this unit to extremely high temperatures (e.g. in direct sunlight ˎ
inside a vehicle) or high humidity.
A drastic temperature change may cause condensation inside this unit. When ˎ
bringing this unit from a cold place such as a ski slope to a warm place, rst put
it in a plastic bag, remove the air from the bag and seal it. Aer bringing it to the
warm place, leave it for a while until it reaches room temperature and then remove
it from the bag.
Battery output decreases as temperature decreases. When using in a cold ˎ
environment, use new batteries or prepare spare batteries kept warm and use them
interchangeably with another set. e POWER lamp may temporarily turn red in
a cold environment even though the batteries still have remaining capacity. If the
battery output becomes low due to low temperature, leave the batteries indoors
until they reach room temperature. e battery output will return to normal.
is unit is not waterproof. When using this unit on a beach, be sure to keep it ˎ
away from water or sand. Any water, sand, dust, or salt remaining in this unit may
cause a malfunction.
