come around the bel-lows.

Set the fl ash on the accessory shoe of the mounting stage after the fl ash
connection with the camera is confi rmed. please adjust the center of the
fl ash light to come to the center of the fl ash light diffusion board by using
the fl ash height adjust-ment.

Shooting
confi rm the power of fl ash, adjust focus and shoot.
*as it becomes close up copy shooting, we recommend you will use a shooting mode which you
can manually change the aper-ture. We also recommend you to close 2-steps from open aperture
as it is generally said there is an advantage in resolution per-formance.
*We recommend you to use the fl ash mode which you can change at camera side, such as p-ttL
fl ash mode
*Depending on the image of your original fi lm, exposure might not match. use exposure
compensation or bracket shooting mode to adjust the exposure.
