IMPORTANT NOTES FOR FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
AND MAINTAINANCE
1. For best flash photography results, set your ISO to 200 and
above in both indoor and outdoor.
2, After each picture, wait for at least 4-5 seconds for the
flash to be fully charged before taking the next shot even
though the ready light is on. This will help to prolong the
lifespan of the flash tube as well as to attain the full
charging capacity of the flash capacitor for precise flash
photography,
3. For precise flash output, it is best to wait till an intermittent
humming sound is heard before depressing the shutter,
4. Maintain at least 2m away from your subject.
5, Always set the flash zoom head position according to the
zoom position of your camera lens.
6. In the event that the flash exposure is incorrect (over or
under exposed or green auto check light does not lit
up),
you may take either one or more of the corrective action:
(1) move closer to the subject (2) Re-adjust your bounce
angle (3) Adjust flash zoom head
(4) Increase ISO setting.
7. Bounce should only be used on lighter colour ceiling or
white walls with zoom head set at the 3Smm position. Note
that when using this feature, 2-3 f/stop of light will be lost
due to reflection.
8. Always use a fresh set of 4 batteries of the same brand
and type when old batteries are depleted. Mix and match
batteries of different types/brands will greatly deteriorate
flash performance.
9. When flash is not being used for extended period of time
(>2 weeks), remove all batteries to prevent battery
leakage. After batteries removal, do not expose the flash
unit and batteries to excessive heat such as fire or sun.
10. Charge up and test fire the flash unit at least once per
month to maintain the optimal performance of the flash
tube and charging capacitor.
BATTERIES INSTALLATION
Ensure that the ON/OFF is in the OFF position. Insert 4
new AA size batteries according to the battery polarity
indicated inside the battery chamber.
MOUNTING THE FLASH ON THE CAMERA
Ensure that the On/OFF switch is at the OFF position.
Slide the flash hotshoe base onto the camera's hot shoe
contact and fasten the lock ring in an anti-clockwise
motion. Slide the ON/OFF Switch to the ON position.
When the Ready Light lights up, the flash is ready to fire.
Pressing the Test Button will test fire the unit.
AUTO CHECK LIGHT
The Green Auto Check Light (Ok) located on the back of
the flash is used to confirm that your subject is within the
effective TTL range of the flash unit. If your subject is
within the effective TTL flash range after shooting, the
green Auto Check Light will illuminate for approximate 2
seconds
