1. Introduction

The Remora Flash has been especially designed for compact

digital housings. It is a slave flash which triggers in sync with

the camera’s internal flash, and features 4 different pre-flash

settings, to cover the needs of all compact digital cameras in

the market. The Remora Flash has a guide number of 20, and

therefore compatible for both macro and wide angle shots.

The power output can be manually adjusted to provide the

most accurate amount of light in all conditions and a short

recycle time ensures quick responsiveness even when using

the maximum power output. The Remora Flash also features a

built-in Y-S Mount for attaching a focus light on top of the

flash, sparing the need for an additional arm.

4. Installing and Removing Batteries

A. Make sure that the power switch is set to the OFF (0)

B. Turn the back door of the flash counterclockwise until it

can be removed.

C. To open the battery compartment, gently slide the knob on

the battery compartment door all the way to the left. Once

the knob is positioned to the left, the battery compartment

door can be removed. Carefully pull it out, using extra

caution not to damage the flange on the left side of the

battery compartment door.

D. Install 4 new or freshly charged batteries according to the

+ and - marks. Make sure that you are inserting the

batteries in the correct direction. Do not mix new and old

or different types of batteries as this may lead to an over-

discharge of the weaker battery, resulting in gassing or

leaking of fluid from the battery.
