Warning
To prevent damage to the product or injury to you or to others, read the following warnings in their entirety before
using this product. Keep these Warning where users can read them for ready reference.
Do not disassemble or modify. Should the product break down, send the defective back to the authorized
service center for inspection and maintenance.
Keep dry. Do not handle with wet hands, immerse in water, or expose to rain.
Keep out of reach of children.
Please put the device in a ventilation environment and keep the parts of lighting and heat dissipation holes are
unobstructed. Do not use in flammable environment.
As this product adopts make and break device, please keep it easy to be used.
No touching the heating parts of this product.
Please turn off the power and wear insulated gloves before installing and connecting accessories. When
replacing the tube or modeling lamp, please make sure that the tube is cool and wear insulated gloves to
prevent burns.
Do not flash directly towards naked eyes (especially those of babies), otherwise it may lead to visual
impairment.
Disconnect from the power supply when it will not be used for an extended period.
Caution
After 30 continuous flashes at full power, the flash should be cooled down for about 3 minutes. Overheating will occur if
it is used continuously without cooling down.
Do not keep using the modeling lamp for a long time; otherwise flammable accessories attaching to flash head, e.g.
softbox will get burnt. A 10-minute time is recommended in this case. After 10 minutes, cool it down for 1 minute.
When using a snoot, do not keep the modeling lamp on for a long time or fire too frequently (not over six times for one
minute). Overheating will result in damages for strobe housing and/or studio light.
Avoid sudden impacts as this can damage the flash tube and/or modeling lamp.

Display Flash Duration
Flash duration refers to the length of time that from flash’s firing to reach the half peak at maximum. The half peak
at maximum is usually expressed as t=0.5. In order to provide the photographer with more concrete data, this
product adopts t=0.1. The difference between t=0.5 and t=0.1 is shown in the following picture.

Stable Color Temperature Mode or High-Speed Flash (speed) Mode can be chosen in the C.Fn-F1 setting. These
two modes are effective in M/Multi mode and ineffective in high-speed sync mode.
Stable Color Temperature Mode: color temperature ranges within ±200K, which is a good choice for the
photographers who pursues stable color temperature.
High-Speed Flash (speed) Mode: the max flash duration is up to t0.1=1/28984, which is perfect for capturing the
fast-changing actions. As the color temperature is a little higher in this mode, please set the camera’s white balance
parameter to the proportional color temperature amount (see the chart below) or AWB (Auto White Balance).

High-Speed Sync
In this mode, you can set the flash output from 1/1 full power to 1/16th power in 0.3 stop increments.
High Speed Sync enables the flash to synchronize with all camera shutter speeds. This is convenient when you
want to use aperture priority for fill-flash portraits.

● With high-speed sync, the color temperature is lower (decrease around 700K) because of tube’s characteristics.

Multi: Stroboscopic Flash
In this mode, you can set the flash output from 1/128th power to 1/8th power in 0.3 stop increments. With
stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture a multiple images of a moving subject
in a single photograph. You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the number
of flashes, and the flash output.

Calculating the Shutter Speed
During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing stops. Use the formula below to calculate the
shutter speed and set it with the camera.
Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed
For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2
seconds.
● Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject against a dark background.
● Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.
● A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash.
● If the number of flashes is displayed as “--”, the firing will continue until the shutter closes or the battery is
exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited as shown by the following table.

Wireless Control Function
The flash unit is built in with a Wireless Control Port so that you can wirelessly adjust the power level
of the flash and the flash triggering.
To control the flash wirelessly, you need a FT-16 remote control set (on-camera and on-flash). Insert
its receive end into the Wireless Control Port on the flash and insert the transmit end into the camera
hot shoe. Settings made on the hotshoe-mounted transmit and receive ends will be
wirelessly communicated to the flash. Then you can press the camera shutter
release button to trigger the flash. You can also hold the transmit end at
hand to control your off-camera flash.
For full instructions on the use of FT series remote control, see its
user manual.
Sync Triggering
The Sync Cord Jack is a Φ6.35mm plug. Insert a trigger plug here and the flash will be fired synchronously with the
camera shutter.
Memory Function
The device is equipped with memory function for the panel setting. It will help remember the panel setting 3 second
after you set it. When starting up the flash next time, the panel setting will be the same as the status before
powering it off.
Tube Replacement
Shut down the power and remove the power cord before replacing the flash tube and wear insulated gloves. Then,
loosen the iron wire on the tube, keep a balanced hold on the two feet of the flash tube and pull out the old tube
gently. Take down the feet casing from the old tube and put it on the new one. Hold two feet of the new tube, and
target directly towards the two copper outlets, then push them slightly in. Twine the iron wire on the stainless steel
sheet to fix the flash tube.
