Taking Pictures with Digital Cameras
without Communication Capabilities
The regular AUTO and MANUAL flash modes can be used with digital
cameras which are
not capable of data communications.
Taking Pictures in the Regular AUTO
Flash Mode
Exposure can be set automatically by inputting the sensitivity of CCD (digital
camera) and lens F-No. yourself, even if the camera does not have
communication capabilities.
It is possible to mount the flash direct on a camera with a hot shoe. When
mounting the flash on a camera without a hot shoe but with a sync terminal, a
conversion grip is necessary to send the light emission signal from the sync
terminal to the flash.
For the information on how to attach the flash on the conversion grip or the
camera, read page 51.
(It is not possible to mount the flash on the camera which has neither a hot
shoe nor a sync terminal.)
1
Press the flash's MODE button until "AUTO" appears on the flash's
control panel.
2
Set the sensitivity of the digital cameras CCD from the GNo/ISO up/
down buttons.
3
Set the lens F-No. from the FNo up/down buttons.
4
Check that the CHARGED lamp is lit.
If the CHARGED lamp is out, the flash is not yet fully charged for firing.
5
Press the shutter release button down all the way.
6
Check that the AUTO CHECK lamp blinks.
You can check whether the flash fired correctly or not after the picture is
taken. If the AUTO CHECK lamp blinks for 5 seconds after the shutter
release button has been pressed down all the way, the flash fired
correctly.
MEMO
• Exposure can be compensated in 1/4 EV steps using the GNo/ISO up/down buttons.
• You can test whether illumination is sufficient or not before taking your picture, by
pressing the TEST button. If the required light is emitted, the AUTO CHECK lamp will
blink.
• When connecting the flash to a digital camera without communication capabilities, the
power save function does not work. To prevent batteries from exhausting, turn the power
off after taking pictures.
