Names of parts (Fig. 1 p. 3)

① Light-emitting area
② Auto light receptor
③ Lock ring
④ Lock pin
⑤ TEST button/CHARGE lamp
⑥ AUTO CHECK lamp
⑦ MODE button
⑧ ON/OFF button
⑨ Flash control mode lamp (TTL-AUTO, AUTO, MANUAL)

Preparing a battery (sold separately)

Use batteries with a choice of followings.

• AAA (R03) alkaline batteries (× 2)
• AAA (R03) NiMH batteries (× 2)

Notes

AAA (R03) manganese batteries cannot be used.

Continuous firing

The flash may become hot when fired many times in succession, resulting in damage or malfunction. The flash should be fired no more than 10 times in succession at intervals of at 6 seconds, after which it should be left unused for at least 10 minutes.

Loading batteries

1 Open the battery compartment cover.

Battery compartment cover

2 Insert the batteries with correct + / - polarity.

3 Close the battery compartment cover.

Notes

Confirm that both the camera and electronic flash are off. Attaching or removing the electronic flash while either the flash or the camera is on may result in malfunction.

1 Remove the camera hot shoe cover and retract the lock pin by rotating the lock ring as shown (①).
- Rotate the lock ring in the direction opposite to that shown by the “+LOCK” arrow until it stops.
2 Slide the flash securely into the hot shoe until it clicks into place (②).
3 Turn the lock ring securely in the direction of "LOCK" (③).

If the camera has an external flash connector, a flash bracket and bracket cable (sold separately) can be hooked up.

Turning on the electronic flash

Attach an electronic flash to the camera, and then turn the camera on with the flash.

1 Press and hold the ON/OFF button until any lamp lights.

• Press the ON/OFF button again to turn the power off.

2 When the CHARGE lamp lights, press the TEST button to fire a test flash.

• Replace the batteries if the CHARGE lamp does not light after:

30 seconds (Alkaline batteries)
10 seconds (NiMH batteries)

• If the CHARGE lamp and AUTO CHECK lamp blink simultaneously, batteries are running low. Replace the batteries.
• If no operations are performed for about 15 minutes, the flash will enter sleep mode to save power. The flash will also enter sleep mode whenever the camera enters sleep mode. If no operations are performed for approximately 15 minutes more, the flash will turn off automatically. Press the ON/OFF button to turn it on.

Shooting (TTL-AUTO)

In TTL-AUTO mode, the flash intensity is controlled automatically according to the camera settings (ISO sensitivity and aperture value). Use this mode if the camera is equipped with communication capability.

MODE button

1 Press the MODE button of the electronic flash repeatedly to set the flash control mode to [TTL AUTO].

2 By using the "Available shooting range" (Table 2 p. 4) as a guide, determine the distance to the subject and then shoot.

• When flash activation has been performed correctly, the AUTO CHECK lamp blinks for about 5 seconds after the shooting.

Notes

Some flash control modes are not available depending on camera settings or currently selected shooting modes. It is not possible to select unavailable modes.

Shooting (AUTO)

In AUTO mode, the auto light receptor adjusts adequate lighting for subject, and light is emitted according to the camera settings (ISO sensitivity and aperture value). No pre-flash is used, and release time lag is reduced.

Press the MODE button of the electronic flash repeatedly to set the flash control mode to [AUTO].

2 Use "Available shooting range" (Table 2 p. 4) as a guide to fix the distance to the subject and then shoot.

• When flash activation has been performed correctly, the AUTO CHECK lamp blinks for about 5 seconds after the shooting.
• Flash can be tested before shooting; press the TEST button to test flash activation. When the AUTO CHECK lamp blinks for about 5 seconds, the flash is adjusted correctly.

For cameras without communication capability

Set the ISO sensitivity and aperture value by referring to the section of the "Available shooting range" (Table 2 p. 4), and shoot within that range.

1 Press the MODE button of the electronic flash repeatedly to set the flash control mode to [MANUAL].
2 For the optimum shooting distance to subject, adjust camera settings (ISO sensitivity and aperture value) and then shoot.

The flash always fires at maximum intensity.

Optimum shooting distance

Use the following formula to calculate the optimum shooting distance.

Optimum shooting distance (m)

$$ = 1 4 \times \text {I S O s e n s i t i v i t y c o e f f i c i e n t (1 f o r I S O 1 0 0) \div A p e r t u r e v a l u e (F)} $$

ISO sensitivity and their coefficients

ISO sensitivity	25	50	100	200	400	800	1600	3200
Coefficient	0.5	0.71	1.0	1.4	2.0	2.8	4.0	5.6
