Depending on the combination of the camera, lens and selected exposure mode, the method for
shooting the subject with flash may be different. Please see chart “
A
” and set the “F”-number by
referring to the manual for your camera.
6.
Confirm the Ready Light is on and press the shutter release button.
◆
When the camera does not receive the appropriate exposure for the subject, the TTL/BL or TTL
mark on the LCD panel will appear for 5 seconds after shooting, which shows that the flash power is
not sufficient for this situation. Please re-take at a closer distance or use a wider aperture. In the
case of F5, F100, F90X/F90/F80 (N90S/N90/N80) series and F70D/N70 cameras, the
underexposure indicator appears for 5 seconds. If you want to see the display for underexposure
again, please depress the LIGHT button.
◆
When the flash is fully charged, the ready light in the camera’s viewfinder will appear. If it does not
appear, the shutter of the camera may operate at a slow shutter speed without triggering the flash.
◆
If you use the AF camera with an AF lens, the AF Auxiliary Light will turn on automatically as you
focus on a subject in a dark area. However the AF Auxiliary Light will not light up if central focus
area is not selected.

Confirm Distance:
1
: Flash’s LCD panel will show the F-number and working distance of flash automatically.
2
: Set the F-number on the flash to be the same as camera, and check the available working distance
range on the LCD panel. To set the F-number on the Flash, push the SEL button until the F-number blinks,
and use + or – button to set the F-number. Then press the SEL button again. The F-number will stop
blinking.
◆
When using Digital SLR cameras, functions will vary depending on the lens type and combinations
of exposure modes, same as F5 and F100 group (in chart A), however, they will use D-TTL (i-TTL).
