Flash Check

The compact flash unit is equipped with a visual flash readiness indicator
called Flash Check. When this function is activated, the modeling light
shuts off after flashing and turns on again when the flash readiness is
restored.

Indicator for Flash Check

Key FC



Activate Flash Check with the

FC key. The LED indicator

turns on.



To deactivate Flash Check

press the key FC again.

Synchronization

Synchronization between compact flash unit and camera can be
optionally achieved via sync cord, the built-in slave, or a built-in radio
receiver.

Synchronization via Cord

The synchronization process uses the latest semiconductor technology and
warrants reliable triggering of the flash unit even when older camera
models with mechanical contacts are used. The lower voltage of the sync
plug ensures safe and reliable operation, also with the use of modern
digital cameras.
