Cautions for firing continuous flashes
To avoid overheating and degrading the flash head, do not
●
fire more than 20 continuous flashes. After 20 continuous
flashes, allow a rest time of at least 10 min.
If you fire more than 20 continuous flashes and then fire
●
more flashes in short intervals, the inner overheating
prevention function may be activated to make the recycling
time about 8 to 20 sec. If this occurs, allow a rest time of
about 15 min, and the flash will then return to normal.
Installing the Batteries
Install four size-AA batteries.
Recycling Time and Flash Count (with size-AA alkaline batteries)
Recycling Time
Approx. 0.1-5 sec
Based on new size-AA alkaline batteries.
● Using size-AA batteries other than the alkaline type may cause
improper battery contact due to the irregular shape of the battery
contacts.
● If you change the batteries after firing many flashes continuously,
be aware that the batteries might be hot.
● Use a new set of four batteries of the same brand. When
replacing the batteries, replace all four at one time.
● Size-AA Ni-MH or lithium batteries can also be used.
03
. Open the cover.
1
● Use your thumb to press the
battery compartment cover, and
then slide it to open the cover.
2. Install the batteries.
● Make sure the + and – battery
contacts are properly oriented
as shown in the compartment.
3. Close the cover.
● Slide the battery compartment
cover as shown by the arrow to
close it.
Flash Count
Approx. 100-700
Attaching to the Camera
. Attach the Camera Flash.
1
● Slip the camera flash’s
mounting foot into the camera’s
hot shoe all the way.
2
. Secure the Camera Flash.
● Rotate the locking screw on the
mounting foot until it locks up.
3
. Detach the Camera Flash.
● Rotate the locking screw on the
mounting foot until it is loosed.
Turning on the Power Switch
1
. Set the power switch to <ON>.
●
Camera flash starts charging.
If < > blinks on the LCD panel, the
battery power is low and the camera
flash stops charging. In this case, the
<ZOOM> button is disabled. Please
change the batteries immediately.
2. Check that the flash is ready.
● The flash-ready indicator turns
red, indicating that the camera
flash is fully charged and ready
for firing.
● Pressing <TEST> button will fire
a test flash.
About Auto Power Off
To save battery power, the power will be off automatically after a certain
period of idle use.
● The flash will enter sleep mode after approx. 90 seconds of idle use
when being attached to the camera.
● Setting as off camera mode, namely, the S1/S2 slave triggering mode,
the flash will enter sleep mode after approx. 60 minutes (adjustable, 30
minutes by default).
To turn on the camera flash again, press the camera’s shutter button
halfway. Or press the camera flash’s test firing button.
When the Power Switch is set to ON and the flash power is off
automatically after a certain period of idle use, power
consumption exists and long-time power discharge damages
batteries. Therefore, make sure to shut down the flash power by
setting the Power Switch to OFF if the flash is not used for long.
Fully Automatic Flash Shooting
When you set the camera's shooting mode to < P > (Program AE)
or < AUTO > (Full Auto), i-TTL fully automatic flash will make it as
easy as normal AE shooting in the < P > and < AUTO > modes.

• Right before the shot is
taken, a preflash is fired, and
then the main flash is fired.
• <TTL> will be displayed on the LCD panel even if the camera is
compatible with i-TTL.
Using i-TTL Autoflash in the Shooting Modes
Just set the camera’s shooting mode to <A> (aperture-priority AE),
<S> (shutter-priority AE), or <M> (manual) and you can use i-TTL
autoflash.
Select this mode when you want to set the shutter speed
manually.
The camera will then automatically set the aperture
matching the shutter speed to obtain a standard exposure.
S
• If the aperture display blinks, it means that the
background exposure will be underexposed or
overexposed. Adjust the shutter speed until the aperture
display stops blinking.
Select this mode when you want to set the aperture
manually.
The camera will then automatically set the shutter speed
matching the aperture to obtain a standard exposure.
If the background is dark like a night scene, a slow sync
speed will be used to obtain a standard exposure of both
the main subject and background.
Standard exposure of the main subject is obtained with
A
the flash, while a standard exposure of the background is
obtained with a slow shutter speed.
• Since a slow shutter speed will be used for low-light
scenes, using a tripod is recommended.
• If the shutter speed displays blinks, it means that the
background exposure will be underexposed or
overexposed. Adjust the aperture until the shutter speed
display stops blinking.
Select this mode if you want to set both the shutter speed
and aperture manually.
Standard exposure of the main subject is obtained with
M
the flash. The exposure of the background is obtained
with the shutter speed and aperture combination you set.

(Auto FP) in the Nikon
camera menu. Press the
shutter button halfway. The
icon < > displayed on the flash screen means the high speed
sync function is enabled on the flash.
• Turning the camera command dial can set the shutter speed to
1/250s or faster.
• To check if the FP flash function works properly, look through the
shutter speed in the viewfinder. If it shows a speed of 1/250s or
faster, the FP flash function is on work.
• If you set a shutter speed as 1/320s (Auto FP) or 1/250s (Auto
FP) in the Nikon camera setting,< > will be displayed in the
flash screen regardless of practical shutter speed.
• With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the shorter
the effective flash range.
• To return to normal flash, set the flash sync speed to other
options other than Auto FP. Then the icon < > will disappear
when pressing the shutter halfway.
• Multi flash mode cannot be set in high-speed sync mode.
• Over-temperature protection may be activated after 15
consecutive high-speed sync flashes.
Bounce Flash
By pointing the flash head toward a wall or ceiling, the flash will
bounce off the surface before illuminating the subject. This can
soften shadows behind the subject for a more natural-looking shot.
This is called bounce flash.
Set the Bounce Direction
Hold the flash head and turn it to a satisfying angle.
07
-7-90
270
• If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash might be
too weak and result in underexposure.
• The wall or ceiling should be a plain, white color for high
reflectance. If the bounce surface is not white, a color cast may
appear in the picture.
Creating a Catchlight
With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the
subject’s eyes to add life to the facial expression.
1. Point the flash head upward
by 90°.
2. Pull out the wide panel.
• The catchlight panel will come
out at the same time.
• Point the flash head straight ahead and then upward by 90°.
The catchlight will not appear if you swing the flash head left or
right.
• For maximum catchlight effect, stay 1.5m/4.9ft away from the
subject.
ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage and Using the Wide Panel
The flash coverage can be set to match the lens focal length from
24 mm to 105mm. The flash coverage can be set automatically or
manually. Also, with the built-in wide panel, the flash coverage can
be expanded for 14mm wide-angle lenses.

• If you set the flash coverage manually, make sure it covers the
lens focal length so that the picture will not have a dark
periphery.
• If you use a commercially-available sync cord to connect the
camera to the camera flash' PC terminal, set the flash zoom
manually.
Using the Wide Panel
Pull out the wide panel and place
it over the flash head as shown.
The flash coverage will then be
extended to 14 mm.
• The catchlight panel will come
out at the same time. Push the
catchlight panel back in.
• The <ZOOM> button will not
work.
• If you use bounce flash with the wide panel in place, the subject
will be illuminated by both the bounce flash and direct flash,
which will look unnatural.
• Pull out the wide panel gently. Using excessive force may
detach the wide panel.
M: Manual Flash
The flash output is adjustable from 1/1 full power to 1/128th power in
1/3rd step increments.
Use a hand-held flash meter to determine the required 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 / Firing 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 sec.
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use
stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession. After 10
times, allow the camera flash to rest for at least 15 min. If you try
to use the stroboscopic flash mode more than 10 times in
succession, the firing might stop automatically to protect the flash
head. If this happens, allow the camera flash to rest for at least
15 min.
• Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective
subject against a dark background.
• Using a tripod, a remote switch, and external power source is
recommended.
• A flash output of 1/1 or 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash.
• Stroboscopic flash can be used with "buLb".

by the use of radio triggers.
S2 Slave Triggering Mode
This mode is also called “Preflash Cancel”, similar to S1 mode. In
this mode, the flash unit will ignore a single “preflash” from the
master flash and will only fire in response to the second, actual
flash from the master. Therefore, this flash unit is applicable when
using a TTL master flash.
• S1 or S2 mode is not supported in the following cases: when
“red-eye reduction” function is started by the master flash (either
camera pop-up flash or external on-camera flash); and when the
master flash uses the modeling flash function.
• In S1 or S2 mode, the flash output level is only manually
adjustable.
• In S1 or S2 mode, TTL flash or Multi flash is not available.
• Setting as S1/S2 slave triggering mode and attaching to the
camera, the flash will change to master mode and be set as TTL
mode automatically when pressing the shutter button halfway.
