LCD PANEL ILLUMINATION

When you press the LIGHT button, the LCD panel will illuminate for about 8 seconds. The illumination stays on longer than 8sec, if you press the LIGHT button once again.16

ABOUT DISTANCE DISPLAY

When you use the combination of MZ / Z series, and *ist film SLR cameras or PENTAX digital SLR cameras with a lens which is produced after A series lens, the LCD panel of flash unit will indicate the effective flash distance ranges. If you use an earlier series lens with these cameras, the effective distance ranges will not appear on the LCD panel.

In the TTL AUTO Mode, the camera will control the amount of flash lighting to provide the appropriate exposure for the subject.

1. Set the camera’s exposure mode to P (PICT) Mode.

2. Turn on the power switch of the flash, the TTL mark will appear on the LCD panel and flash will start

charging. (If TTL mark does not appear, depress the MODE button several times to select the TTL mode).

3. Focus on your subject.

4. Check that the subject is located within the effective distance range, indicated on the LCD panel.

5. Press the shutter button, after the flash is fully charged.

When the flash is fully charged, the ready light in the viewfinder, and appears on the flash unit. ◆ If flashgun is used with a P-TTL compatible camera, TTL will be controlled by the P-TTL system. If the flash is set as TTL, “P" will be displayed on the liquid crystal display. ◆ When the camera receives the appropriate exposure, the TTL icon on the LCD panel will appear for 5 seconds. If this indication does not appear, the flash illumination is not enough for that particular situation. Please re-take the picture, at a closer distance. (In the case of digital SLR cameras, “Flash Exposure Level” cannot be confirmed from the camera’s viewfinder display or from the blinking display indicator of the flash’s LCD panel. Please confirm the Flash Exposure Level visually from the image that you capture.) ◆ The AF Auxiliary Light will turn on automatically as you focus on a subject in a dark area. The effective range of the AF Auxiliary Light is up to about 0.7meter to 9meter (2.3-29.5 feet). ◆ When the flash is fully charged, the flash mark will appear in the finder. If the shutter is released before the flash is fully charged, the flash will not fire, and the camera will take the picture at a slow shutter speed.

USING FLASH IN OTHER CAMERA MODES

Shutter Speed Priority Setting When you set the desired shutter speed, the camera will select the appropriate aperture value. You cannot choose shutter a speed faster than the camera’s sync speed. Aperture Priority Setting By selecting the Av mode, after you select the desired aperture the camera will set the appropriate shutter speed for the background exposure.

When used with M Mode You can set the desired shutter speed and aperture value. You can set the shutter speed from top sync speed to bulb.

LIMITS OF CONTINUOUS SHOOTING

To prevent overheating of the flash’s circuitry, please do not use your Flash unit for at least 10minutes after using the number of flash exposures, shown in the below table have been made in quick succession.17 Mode Number of Flash Exposures TTL, M(1/1,1/2) 20 Continuous Flash Shots M(1/4, 1/8) 25 Continuous Flash Shots M(1/16-1/32) 40 Continuous Flash Shots Multi 10 Cycle

displayed after you press the SEL button again.

6. Adjust the focusing by pressing the shutter button, read-out subject distance from the focus ring on

the lens. Then, adjust the F-stop or flash power, until the distance indicated on the LCD panel of the flash, and subject distance becomes about equal.

7. When the Ready Light of the flash is illuminated, the unit is ready for use.

◆ You can calculate the correct exposure by using the following formula: Guide Number “GN” / Flash to Subject Distance = F-stop This flash unit will automatically calculate and indicate the appropriate Subject Distance according to the above formula. (Please refer to table1 on the last page)

SECOND CURTAIN SYNCHRONIZATION

When you photograph a moving subject with slow synchronization, usually the furrow of the subject will be exposed in front of the subject. The ordinary flash light will fire when the first shutter curtain is fully opened, thus the subject will be exposed from the time flash is fired to the time the shutter is closed (This is called First Curtain Synchronization). When you use second curtain synchronization, the flash will fire just before the second curtain begins to closes, and the subject will be exposed by ambient light from the time the shutter opens until the flash fires. The furrow of the subject will therefore be exposed behind the subject, creating a more natural effect.

1. Set the desired picture-taking mode of the camera

2. Select the Mode of the flash. (TTL mode)

4. Adjust the focus, and take the picture after confirming the ready

light is lit. ◆ First curtain synchronization will be set, if mark is not displayed. ◆ To cancel second –curtain synchronization, turn off the mark on the LCD panel. HIGH SPEED SYNC FLASH(FP) (Only for P-TTL compatible cameras) When you take a picture with an ordinary flash, you cannot use a shutter speed faster than the camera’s synchronized speed because the flash must fire when the shutter curtain is fully open. The FP flash keeps firing, while the shutter curtain is running. Thus you can use a shutter speed faster than the synchronized speed.
