ABOUT THE BATTERY

This flash unit uses four “AA” type Alkaline dry cell batteries or Ni-Cad, Ni-MH,

rechargeable batteries. Manganese batteries can also be used but as they have a

shorter life than Alkaline batteries, we do not recommend using them. Please replace

batteries if it takes more than 30seconds to light the Ready Lamp.

■

To assure proper electrical contact, clean the battery terminals before installing the

batteries

■ NiCad batteries do not have standardized contacts. If you use NiCad batteries,

please confirm that the battery contacts touch the battery compartment properly.

■ To prevent battery explosion, leakage or overheating, use four new AA batteries of

the same type and brand. Do not mix the type or new and used batteries.

■ Do not disassemble or short-circuit batteries, or expose them fire or water; they

may explode. Also, do not recharge the batteries other than Ni-Cd rechargeable

batteries.

■ When the flash will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the

batteries from the flash, to avoid the possibility of damage from leakage.

■ Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Keep batteries insulated when

using the flash in cold weather.

■ As with any flash, it is recommended you carry spare batteries when on a long trip,

or when photographing outdoors in cold weather.

BATTERY LOADING

1. Be sure to set the Power Switch to the off position then slide, the battery cover in

the direction of the arrow to open (fig.2).

2. Insert four AA size batteries into the battery chamber. Be sure the + and – ends of

the batteries are aligned according to the diagram in the chamber (fig.3).

3. Close the cover.

4. Slide the Power Switch to the ON position. After few seconds, the Ready Lamp will

light, indicating that the flash unit can be fired.

5. Please press the “Test Button” to be sure that the flash is working properly.

■ If the battery power is not sufficient, or if there is an electronic information error, the

flash coverage angle indicator will blink to indicate the condition.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE FLASH TO AND FROM THE

CAMERA

Be sure turn off the Power Switch. Then insert the Shoe Base into the hot shoe on the

camera and turn the Shoe Locking Ring until it is tight (fig.4)(fig.5).

■ When you attach or remove the flash, grasp the bottom of the flash to prevent

damage to the shoe foot and camera’s hot shoe.

■ If the camera’s built-in flash is set in up position, please close it before you attach

the flash unit.

■ To remove the flash, rotate the shoe-locking ring in the opposite direction of

◄LOCK mark, until it stops.

ETTL(TTL) AUTO FLASH

In the TTL AUTO Mode, the camera will control the amount of flash lighting to get the

appropriate exposure for the subject.

1. Set the camera’s mode to Full-AUTO Mode. (Usually

□

Mode. If the camera

does not have

□

Mode, set to P Mode.)

2. Slide the Power Switch to the TTL Position.

■ If the flash coverage angle indicator blinks when you turn on the power of your flash

please make sure that the flash head bounce angle is adjusted to the normal (0˚)

position.

3. Focus onto the subject.

4. Press the shutter button after the flash is charged.

■ After a picture is taken, and the film receives appropriate exposure, the Ready

Lamp will blink. If the Ready Lamp does not blink, it indicates that the flash light

was not sufficient for that particular situation. Please retake the picture at a distance

closer to the subject.

■ The AF Auxiliary Light will turn on automatically as you focus on a dark area.

Note: Effective distance is up to about 0.7 to 9 meter (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 camera will take the picture

at a slow shutter speed, with no flash.

■ To conserve battery power, the flash unit automatically turns itself off when the flash

is not used within approximately 90seconds. To turn the flash on again, depress the

“TEST” button or the camera shutter button, halfway.

■ The flash will automatically set the Zoom Head position according to the focal

length of your lens.

■ Please refer to《chart.1》for the effective distance ranges.

USING FLASH IN OTHER CAMERA MODES (Except EOS700, 750, 850)

Shutter Speed Priority Setting

By selecting the Tv mode of the camera, you can set the shutter speed from 30sec. to

1/X sync speed. When you set the desired shutter speed, the camera will select the

appropriate aperture value for the background. If the subject is too light or too dark,

the aperture value indicator will blink and show the limit values (maximum or minimum

aperture). In such as case, the camera proceeds to take flash photograph at the limit

value. Thus, the main subject in the picture may be exposed correctly, but the

background will become under or over exposed.

Aperture Priority Setting

By selecting the Av mode of your camera, the camera will select the appropriate

shutter speed for the background. If the subject is too bright or too dark, the shutter

speed indicator will blink and show the limit highest or slowest shutter speed value.

The highest shutter speed will be limited to the camera’s normal flash synchronization

speed. In such a case, the camera proceeds to take a flash photograph at the limit

value. Thus, the main subject in a picture may be exposed correctly, but the

background will become under or overexposed.

When used with M Mode

You can set the desired shutter speed and aperture value. The sync speed of camera

is 30sec. If you adjust exposure according to the exposure meter indication, the

camera will work as for Daylight synchronization flash or slow synchronization.

MANUAL FLASH OPERATION (Except EOS700, 750, 850)

This flash unit can be used in Manual Mode at full power and at 1/16 power.

1. Set the camera’s exposure mode to Manual / M mode.

2. Slide the flash unit’s Power Switch to MH (full flash power) or to ML (1/16 flash

power).

3. Focus on the subject and set the camera’s F-stop, using the exposure calculated by

the formula shown below:

F-stop = Guide Number (G.N.) ÷ Flash to Subject Distance (m)

4. After the flash is fully charged, press he Shutter Release button to take the picture.

Guide Number will change according to the Zoom Head position, (see《chart.2》). Guide

Number will also change according to film speed (ISO),(see《chart.3》). In the case of

non-ISO100 speed

films, multiply the《chart.3》number by the《chart.2》number. For

example, using ISO200 film, Zoom Head position for 24mm and the MH mode;

multiply the《chart.3》number ”1.4” by the《chart.2》number “34.0”: 34.0×1.4=47.6. This

will be the new effective Guide Number (G.N.) in meters. To determine the G.N. in feet,

multiply the G.N. in meters by 3.3.

EX. If flash to subject distance is 8.5 meters:

F-stop = 47.6 ÷ 8.5 = 5.6 (5.6 is the F-stop to set on the camera.)

When repeatedly using the flash rapidly in the MH mode, it should be allowed to “rest”

for about 10 minutes after each 20 flashes. If used under the same conditions in the

ML mode, the flash should be allowed to “rest” after each 40 flashes.

WIDE PANEL

This flashgun is equipped with a built-in wide panel, which can provide an ultra wide

17mm angle of coverage. Slide out the wide panel and catch light panel and flip it

down to cover the flash’s head (fig.6-1). (Be careful to slide the panels out smoothly.)

Then put the catch light panel back in its place (fig.6-2). The coverage angle setting of

the flash will be set to 17mm automatically.

■ The flash coverage angle indicator will show that the wide panel is in use by

blinking the both end values (24mm and 105mm) slowly (1sec each time).

■ If the built-in wide panel comes off accidentally, adjustment mechanism of flash

coverage angle will not function. In this case please contact the store where you

have purchased the flash, or a service station.

BOUNCE FLASH

When you take a photo with flash in a room, sometimes a strong shadow will appear

behind the subject, if you point the flash head upwards or sideways to reflect the light

off the ceiling, wall etc. the subject will be illuminated softly. Press the lock button and

adjust the flash head to set the bounce angle (fig.7).

UP: 0°, 60°, 75°, 90° DOWN: 0°,7°

RIGHT: 0°, 60°, 75°, 90° LEFT: 0°, 60°, 75°,90°, 120°, 150°, 180°
