13 Care and maintenance
Remove dust and grime with a soft dry
cloth or silicon-treated cloth. Do not
use cleaning agents as these may
damage the plastic parts.
13.1 Firmware updates
Flash unit firmware can be updated via
the USB port
and, within the techni-
cal framework, adapted to the functio-
nality of future cameras.
Checking the firmware version
• Switch off the flash unit by pressing
the button until all LED dis-
plays are off.
• Hold down the TTL button on the
flash unit whilst pressing the
button.
On the flash unit, the M button and
the LED for partial light output 1/1
and 1/32 will flash.
The number of flashes shows the firm-
ware version e.g. 1/1 LED flashes once
and the 1/64 LED 3 times to install
firmware version 1.3.

13.2 Flash capacitor forming
The flash capacitor built into the flash
unit undergoes physical change if the
unit is not switched on for a prolonged
period. For this reason it is necessary
to switch the unit on for approximately
10 minutes at least once every three
months. The power supplied by the
power source must be sufficient to cau-
se the flash readiness indicator to light
up no more than one minute after the
flash unit is switched on.
