Using the Flash

1. Power Management

Use ON/OFF Power Switch (16) to power the flash unit on or off. Turn off if it will not be used for an

extended period of time. This flash unit has Sleep Function and will enter into sleep status when

there is no operation for a long time. For Sleep Function setting, see the following instruction.

2. Flash Output

zFlash output can be varied from 1/128th power to 1/1 full power in 1/3 stop increments. To

obtain a correct flash exposure, use a hand-held flash meter to determine the required flash

output.

zAdjust the power output by rotating Select Dial (14). The following table makes it easier to see

how the stop changes in terms of f/stop when you increase or decrease the flash output:

…

1/2+0.7 1/2+0.3 1/4+0.7 1/4+0.3 …

←Figures displayed when increasing flash output level

3. ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage

The flash coverage can be set to match the lens focal length from 24 mm to 200 mm.

Press < > button (12) and rotate Select Dial (14) to change the flash coverage.

4. M Mode: Manual Mode

Press MODE Selection Button (11) to enter M mode. In this mode, you can set the flash unit onto

your camera hot shoe or your trigger hot shoe for firing.

Before shooting, adjust the flash power output. When the camera’s shutter is pressed, the flash

will fire synchronously. Slave triggering mode is not available in M mode.

When “OF” is shown on the LCD display, it means no flash output and flash firing is

turned off.

When setting the flash coverage, make sure it covers the lens focal length

so that the picture will not have a dark periphery.

5. Multi Mode: Stroboscopic Flash

Press Mode Selection Button (11) to enter Multi mode (Stroboscopic flash). With stroboscopic

flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture multiple images of a moving

subject in a single photograph.

You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the number of

flashes, and the flash output.

For setting procedures, see the following:

zPress the Mode Selection Button (11) so that “Multi” is displayed.

zPress Set Button (15) to select the item to be set. The item blinks.

zRotate Select Dial (14) to set a desired number.

Calculating the Shutter Speed

During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing stops. Use the provided

formula to calculate the shutter speed required to capture the full sequence of flashes:

Number of flashes / Firing frequency = Shutter speed

For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed

should be at least 2 sec.

Maximum Stroboscopic Flashes：

Note:

zStroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject

against a dark background.

zUsing a tripod and a remote switch is recommended.

zA flash output of 1/1 or 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash.

zStroboscopic flash can be used with “buLb”.
