FEATURES OF THE MACRO FLASH
Flashtubes
This macro flash has two flashtubes, one on each side of the flash. The tubes can be
turned on or off separately using the light selector switches at the back of the macro
flash. To turn on any one of the flashtubes, push the corresponding switch to the side
with the “ON＂ label.
While the two flashtubes are on, you can get a homogeneous, shadowless illumination
for your target. If you turn off one of the flashtubes, shadow could be created, which
gives the subject a three-dimensional feel.
Auxiliary Lights
The auxiliary lights are located at the top and bottom of the macro flash. These
lights could help you focus in dark place in AUTO mode.
OPERATING THE MACRO FLASH
We suggest that you use a macro lens and choose an aperture as small as practically
possible to maximize the depth of field. The exposure mode for your camera should be
set to either Aperture Priority or Manual. These modes will allow proper exposure and
good focusing at macro ranges.
Please read the following instructions in order to correctly operate the macro flash:
1. Turn on the power of the DMF880 digital flash unit after connecting the macro
flash. The
Ready lamp will turn red when charging is completed.

The DMF880 digital flash unit may not operate properly if the battery power is
insufficient.
Replace your batteries if the Ready lamp does not light up after 30 seconds. For
more information on the correct use of batteries, please refer to the DMF880
instruction manual.
2. Adjust the setting of your camera to get a good focus of your target at macro
ranges. Shoot
your target by pressing the shutter button of your camera. The Auto OK indicator on
the DMF880 digital flash unit will light up when the macro flash flashes.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF THE DMF880 DIGITAL FLASH UNIT
