Please bear in mind that the maximum flash range changes in accordance with the focal length in use. At ISO
100 you can read off the values for the flash range from the table below:
Mounting and Removing the Flash from Camera
Before mounting the flash unit onto your camera, be certain that the power switch
is turned OFF. The camera´s built-in flash must be shut and locking ring must be
turned.
Models Nikon, Canon, Pentax/Samsung and Panasonic:
Carefully slide the flash unit onto thecamera´s flash shoe. In order to guarantee a
proper functioning contact between flash and camera, the locking ring should be
tighten. When removing the flash from the camera, reverse the steps.
Model Olympus:
Carefully slide the flash unit onto the camera´s flash shoe. In order to guarantee a proper functionating
contact between flash and camera, the LOCK button should be pressed. When removing the flash from the
camera press the two buttons along side LOCK. Now you can easily remove the flash unit from the camera.
Model Sony/Minolta:
Slide the flash unit onto the camera´s flash shoe until it locks into place. In order to remove the flash unit from
the camera, press the PUSH button. Now the flash can easily be removed from the camera.
Color Temperature and White Balance
Color Temperature of the DAF-42 is 5000 K. The automatic white balance of digital cameras automatically
selects this color temperature. Color differences can occur with changing light. It is therefore recommended
to set the white balance manually on your digital camera. Depending upon the camera model the white
balance would be set at 5000 K or flash symbol.
TTL Flash Control with Auto Mode
After connecting the flash onto your camera, first turn on your camera and set it to auto mode and then turn
the power switch of your flash to ON. The flash is preset to TTL flash control. On the LC display appears
“TTL”. When the flash READY indicator lights up on the flash, you only need to press down the shutter
release of your camera. Most cameras also feature a flash ready indicator in the viewfinder. (Please refer to
your camera´s instruction manual.) TTL flash control ensures exact illumination of the object by controlling
both the camera´s and the flashgun´s amount of light. The flashlight reflecting off the object is measured
through the lens (TTL - through the lens). When the amount of light needed for an accurate exposure has
been reached, a stop signal is passed to the flash causing the light output to be interrupted. Additionally
your camera automatically is preset to the best possible aperture and exposure time. TTL flash control offers
besides high exposure accuracy and easy handling further advantages:
• all settings and exposure adjustments are omitted
• extensions are automatically considered (e. g. when using extension tubes)
