LENS USABILITY

Although this Flash is designed specifically for Macro lenses (MACRO 50mm F2.8 EX DG, MACRO

105mm F2.8 EX DG, etc.) it is also possible to use it with other lens types, however please pay attention to

the following points.

 Front part or other parts of some lenses rotate while focusing, and also attaching the ring flash to such

lenses would affect focusing mechanism of your camera, possibly resulting in malfunction. Please use

Manual Focus only with such lenses.

 Ø55mm, and Ø58mm filter MacroFlash Adapters are bundled with your flashgun. If you want to attach

your flashgun to a lens which has a different filter size then please purchase separately a MacroFlash

Adapter. (Only Ø62mm, Ø72mm, Ø77mm macroflash adapters are available).

 Depending on the lens’ focal length or the distance to subject or another reason, it is possible that your

image might be affected by vignetting. Please take some test shoots first to be sure that your setting is

not causing vignetting.

ABOUT THE BATTERY

This flash unit uses four “AA” type Alkaline dry cell batteries or Ni-Cad, Ni-MH, rechargeable batteries.

Manganese batteries can also be used but as they have a shorter life than Alkaline batteries, we do not

recommend using them. Please replace batteries if it takes more than 30seconds to light the Ready Lamp.

ۋ To assure proper electrical contact, clean the battery terminals before installing the batteries

ۋ NiCad batteries do not have standardized contacts. If you use NiCad batteries, please confirm that the

battery contacts touch the battery compartment properly.

ۋ To prevent battery explosion, leakage or overheating, use four new AA batteries of the same type and

brand. Do not mix the type or new and used batteries.

ۋ Do not disassemble or short-circuit batteries, or expose them fire or water; they may explode. Also, do

not recharge the batteries other than Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries.

ۋ 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.

ۋ

Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Keep batteries insulated when using the flash in cold weather.

ۋ As with any flash, it is recommended you carry spare batteries when on a long trip, or when

photographing outdoors in cold weather.

indicated on the LCD panel.

5. Press the shutter button, after the flash is fully charged.

When the flash is fully charged, the ready light in the viewfinder, and

appears on the flash unit.

 The TTL exposure is controlled by the S-TTL system of the digital

camera. If the flash is set to TTL, the character "d" (digital) will be

displayed on the LCD panel.

 When the camera receives the appropriate exposure, the TTL mark on

the LCD panel will appear for 5 seconds. If this indication does not

appear, the flash illumination is not enough for that situation. Please

re-take the picture, at a closer distance.



If the SA-300, SA-300N and SA-5 cameras, are set to “

” fully automatic

mode, Flash will automatically switch to TTL mode only. For other camera

exposure modes, the flash will be set to the last chosen mode each time.



When the flash is fully charged, the flash mark will appear in the finder. If the shutter is released before the

flash is fully charged, the flash will not fire, and the camera will take the picture at a slow shutter speed.

It is possible to give the three dimensional effect to your pictures by adjusting the flash ratio of

left or right flash tube or by firing only one side of the flash.

USING FLASH IN OTHER CAMERA MODES

Shutter Speed Priority Setting

By selecting the

S

mode of the camera, you can set the shutter speed from 30sec. to 1/X sync speed.

When you set the desired shutter speed, the camera will select the appropriate aperture value for the

background. If the subject is too light or too dark, the aperture value indicator will blink and show the limit

values (maximum or minimum aperture). In such as case, the camera proceeds to take flash photograph at

the limit value. Thus, the main subject in the picture may be exposed correctly, but the background will

become under or over exposed.

Aperture Priority Setting

By selecting the

A

mode of your camera, the camera will select the appropriate shutter speed for the

background. If the subject is too bright or too dark, the shutter speed indicator will blink and show the limit

highest or slowest shutter speed value. The highest shutter speed will be limited to the camera’s normal

flash synchronization speed. In such a case, the camera proceeds to take a flash photograph at the limit

value. Thus, the main subject in a picture may be exposed correctly, but the background will become under

or overexposed.

19

When used with M Mode

You can set the desired shutter speed and aperture value. You can set the shutter speed from top sync

speed to bulb. If you adjust the exposure according to the exposure meter indication, the camera will work

as for Daylight synchronization flash or slow, synchronization.

 In the case of use with SD9, SD10, depending on the ISO setting, shutter speed will change to slow

shutter speed side. For more detailed information, please refer to Exposure Mode selection.

LIMITS OF CONTINUOUS SHOOTING

To prevent overheating of the flash’s circuitry, please do not use your Flash unit for at least 10minutes after

using the number of flash exposures, shown in the below table have been made in quick succession.

Mode

Number of Flash Exposures

TTL, M(1/1,1/2)

15 Continuous Flash Shots

M(1/4, 1/8)

20 Continuous Flash Shots

M(1/16-1/32)

40 Continuous Flash Shots

Multi

10 Cycle

MANUAL FLASH OPERATION

Manual flash provides adjustment of desired flash intensity (flash output level).

 The shooting in Manual Mode requires a very advanced technique.

We recommend you use the Auto mode. When using Manual Flash

photography, first take some test shots. It will be beneficial to use a

flash meter device for determining the exposure.

 Flash intensity of left and right tubes can be set between 1/1~1/64. It is

also possible to set without firing one of them.

1. Set the camera’s exposure mode to M.

2. Press the MODE button on the flash unit to select M.

3.

Press the SEL button. (The flash intensity display of the left flashtube blinks).

4. Press the + or

-

button to set the left flashtube output level. (If

“ -- “ is displayed, the left flashtube will not fire).

5.

Press the SEL button. (The flash intensity display of right flashtube will blink).

6. Press the + or

-

button to set the right flashtube output level. (If

“ -- “ is displayed, the right flashtube will not fire).

7. Press the SEL button to stop the indicator blinking.

 If the flash output level values of both tubes are the same, the flash

output level will be displayed. When the different flash intensity is set,

the flash output level will not be displayed on the LCD.



Regarding Guide Number, please refer to the [Table.1] on the last page.

 You can calculate the correct exposure by using the following formula:

Guide Number “GN” / Flash to Subject Distance = F-stop

FP FLASH (Except SA-300)

When you take a picture with an ordinary flash, you cannot use a shutter speed faster than the camera’s

synchronized speed because the flash must fire when the shutter curtain is fully open. The FP flash keeps

firing, while the shutter curtain is running. Thus you can use a shutter speed faster than the synchronized

speed.

1. Set the camera’s exposure mode to

M

mode.

2. Press the MODE button on the flash unit, to select the M.

3. Press the

+

or

–

button and make the indicate

indicator

appear on the LCD panel.

4. Set the shutter speed.

5. Focus on the subject
