16. Use of Umbrellas and Softboxes
• An umbrella with a handle diameter of
8-10mm can be firmly secured in the
umbrella holder.
• Firmly press the umbrella shaft through
the holder. The locking knob is located
on the side. Do not over tighten to avoid
damaging the shaft of the umbrella.
• When the standard reflector is used, fit the
umbrella in the hole of the reflector.
Use of a heavy accessory such as a large
softbox can make the flash unstable. Ho
-
wever, it is possible to re-balance the flash
by sliding the flash unit along its mounting
bracket.
• Release the screw at the top of the moun-
ting bracket.
• Slide the flash unit along its mounting
bracket towards the front of the flash so
that head doesn‘t tilt down.
• Don‘t forget to retighten the screw. Make
certain that your set up is stable before
proceeding.
• Pull the handle to make the lock turn com-
pletely to avoid the scratch on the side of
flash.
