Getting Started and
Basic Operations
This chapter describes the preparations before starting
flash photography and the basic shooting operations.
Cautions for firing continuous flash
To avoid degrading and damaging the flash head due to
overheating, limit the continuous firing at full output up to
“firing angle 14mm/20mm/24mm: 30 times”, “firing angle
28mm: 35 times”, or “firing angle 35mm to 200mm: 50
times.” After firing continuously at full output for the above
listed number of times, allow a rest time of at least 10 min.
If you fire the flash continuously at full output for the above
listed number of times, and then fire the flash again
repeatedly at short intervals, the safety function may
activate and restrict flash firing. With flash firing restriction
level 1, the firing interval is automatically set to approx. 8
sec. If this happens, allow a rest time of at least 40 min.
For details, see “Flash Firing Restriction due to Temperature
Increase” on page 124.
