To check the mode switch
You can check whether the settings of the mode switch are
correct, by shooting the strobe with a digital camera. The number
of times a digital camera's built-in flash will fire differs depending
on the shooting mode. If you change the shooting mode of the
camera, check the setting of the mode switch again for that
mode.
Set the camera's built-in flash
to the forced-flash mode, and
mount the camera to the
housing. Then, connect the
housing and this product
together with a fiber-optic cable.
Set the mode switch to [ ]
and the light level control dial
to [FULL], point the digital
camera at the front of the
strobe and shoot an image.
The built-in flash of the camera
must flash.
Release the red-eye-reduction
function.

Check the image captured by
the camera
If you see a white flash in the strobe
or an image that is completely
white, then the strobe has fired
and the setting is correct.
If the image shows a dark reflection from the strobe, that
means that it is not synchronized and the strobe didn't fire.
Change the mode switch to [ ], try taking another picture,
and then check the new picture.
