ABOUT THE BATTERY
This flash unit uses “AAA” type Alkaline dry cell batteries, Ni-MH rechargeable
batteries, Oxyride dry cell batteries or Lithium batteries. Please replace the
batteries if it takes more than 30 seconds to light the Ready Lamp.
To assure proper electrical contact, clean the battery terminals before
installing the batteries
To prevent battery explosion, leakage or overheating, use two new AAA
batteries of the same type and brand. Do not mix the type or new and used
batteries.
Do not disassemble or short-circuit batteries, or expose them to fire or water;
they may explode. Also, do not recharge the batteries other than Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries.
When the flash will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the
batteries from the flash to avoid the possibility of damage from leakage.
Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Keep the batteries
insulated when using the flash in cold weather.
BATTERY LOADING
1.
Be sure to set the Power Switch to the off position then slide the battery
cover in the direction of the arrow to open (fig.2).
2.
Insert two AAA size batteries into the battery component. Be sure the + and
– ends of the batteries are aligned according to the diagram in the
component (fig.3).
3.
Close the cover (fig.4).
4.
Slide the Power Switch to the ON position. After few seconds, the Ready
Lamp will light, indicating that the flash unit can be fired.
ATTACHING THE FLASH TO THE CAMERA
Be sure turn off the Power Switch. Remove the hot shoe cover of the camera
and attach the flash unit to the camera as shown in the picture. (fig.5)
When you attach or remove the flash, grasp the bottom of the flash to prevent
damage to the shoe foot and camera’s hot shoe.
If the camera’s built-in flash is set in the up position, please close it before you
attach the flash unit.
TTL AUTO FLASH
In the TTL AUTO Mode, the camera will control the amount of flash lighting to
get the appropriate exposure for the subject.
1. Slide the Power Switch to the TTL Position (fig.6).
2. Focus onto the subject.
3. Press the shutter button after the flash is charged.
To conserve battery power, the flash unit automatically turns itself off when
the flash is not used within approximately 300 seconds. To turn the flash on
again, press the camera shutter button halfway.
When the exposure mode is set to AUTO or P Mode or the ISO Setting is in
Auto, the effective distance range is 0.3 meter to 7 meters.
MANUAL FLASH OPERATION
It is possible to use manual flash with this flash unit (Flash power level can be
set to Full).
1. Set the camera’s exposure mode to
M
.
2. Slide the power switch to the
M
position.
3. Set the aperture value calculated by the following formula.
GN (Guide Number)
/
D (Flash to Subject Distance [m]) = F stop.
4. When the Ready Light of the flash unit is illuminated, the unit is ready to use.
The Guide Number will be varied depending on the ISO sensitivity value set in
the camera. Please refer the following chart.
ISO 50
ISO 100
ISO 200
ISO 400
ISO 800
ISO 1600
10 14 20 28 40 56
For example, an ISO sensitivity value of 400 and the distance to the subject of
5 meters, the aperture value will be F5.6 according to the above.
28 (GN) / 5 (D) =5.6 (F)
If the DP1's Exposure Mode is set to "Auto Mode", Manual Flash cannot be
used. Please set your camera's exposure mode to one of the following
modes: P, A, S or M for using Manual Flash operation of the EF-140DG.

at least 10 minutes after continuously firing the flash for up to 10 continuous
flash shots.

Warning !!
Disregarding this warning sign when using the product might cause serious injury or
other dangerous results.
This flash contains high voltage circuits. To avoid electric shock or burns, do not
attempt to disassemble the flash. If the outside shell of the unit is broken or
cracked, do not touch the mechanism inside.
Do not fire the flash close to eyes. Otherwise the bright light could damage the
eyes. Keep at least 1m/3feet distance between the face and the flash unit when
taking a picture with flash.
Do not touch the synchro terminal of your camera when the flash is attached to
hot shoe. High voltage circuitry could cause electric shock.
Never use your camera in an environment where flammable, burnable, gas,
liquids or chemicals, etc, exist. Otherwise, it might cause fire or explosion.
Caution!!
Using the product and disregarding this caution sign might cause injury or damage.
Do not use this flash unit on any camera other than the SIGMA DP1 / SD14

prints from the component. Clean with a soft, moistened cloth.
For extended storage, choose a cool dry place, preferably with good ventilation.
It is recommended that the flash be charged and fired several times a month, to
