● Modeling Light Installation
Power should be off before the modeling light installation and then insert the modeling light carefully. Caution: Do not touch the lamp with your bare hands. Oil residue from your fingers can cause the surface of the lamp heat unevenly and fail to work.
● Power Connection
Connect the flash to an AC power source via power cord and turn on the power switch (1). The charging LED indicator (8) will grow red, meaning the unit is charging, no flash at this moment. When the unit is ready to fire, the light will turn green.
● Flash Output Control
Flash output controller (7) controls the power radio, adjustable stepless power from 1/8 to full. It can meet customers’ requirements for light in different environments. (Note: When adjusting the power from full power to a lower setting, press the test button to release the power in the capacitor, so when recharged, the flash output will be in the corresponding setting.)
● Test Button
To fire the flash without taking a picture, push the test button. It will also adjust the brightness when combined with the flash output controller (7).
● Sync Triggering
The sync cord jack (2) is a Φ3.5 mm mini plug. When working with sync
cord triggering method, insert one end of sync cord or a trigger plug into it; the flash then can be fired synchronously.
● Slave Trigger Model
The flash will be fired synchronously at one external flash. This model can act as an auxiliary lamp, offering various light effects.
● Flash Preparation
Attach the flash unit on an appropriate light stand. Adjust the mounting bracket (10) for a good angle and make sure it’s tightened and fixed. The umbrella input (11) is applicable for any studio umbrella.
