MF18 has X-terminal contact to support a flash synchronization. The
external flash can be triggered by the MF18 through X-terminal. A
standard sync-cable in the market is usable.
When using an external power source, the number of flashes is increased
and the recycling time is shortened. The following external power pack is
available in option.
MF18 is
automatically
turned off when
repeating flash
continuously over
20 to 30 times to protect the flash circuitry. It will be automatically
reset after 15 minutes of inactivity. Please note that the basic
operation is controlled by the main batteries (battery magazine) in the
flash unit and when the main batteries are exhausted, the flash
control system does not work. Replace the batteries when recycle
time becomes longer than 20 seconds by main batteries only.
