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.
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 exposure mode to
P
Mode. (In the case of SA-300, SA-300N and SA-5
set to “
*
” fully automatic 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 300 seconds. 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 tochart.1for the effective distance ranges.
USING FLASH IN OTHER CAMERA MODES
Shutter Speed Priority Setting
By selecting the
S
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
A
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.
MANUEL FLASH OPERATION
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, (seechart.2). Guide
Number will also change according to film speed (ISO),(seechart.3). In the case of
non-ISO100 speed films, multiply thechart.3number by thechart.2number. For example,
using ISO400 film, Zoom Head position for 50mm and the MH mode; multiply thechart.3
number ”2” by thechart.2number “40”: 40×2=80. 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 10 meters:
F-stop = 80 ÷ 10 = 8 ( 8 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 15 minutes after each 15 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 flash is equipped with built in type wide panel, which can provide ultra wide 17mm
angle of coverage. Slide out the wide panel and flip it down to cover flash’s head. Then the
coverage angle setting of the flash will be set to 17mm automatically (fig. 6).
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.
UP: 0°, 60°, 75°, 90° DOWN: 0°,7°
RIGHT: 0°, 60°, 75°, 90° LEFT: 0°, 60°, 75°,90°, 120°, 150°, 180° (fig. 7)
The picture will receive the color from the reflecting surface. Please choose a white
surface for bouncing.
Close-up Exposures
For bounce flash can be tilted 7° downward for close-ups. The Flash will be effective only
for the subjects 0.5 meter to 2 meters.
The Flash coverage angle display will blink (2 times / second), when you set the flash
head tilted downward by 7°
