If your camera or camcorder has an accessory shoe, slide the Hot Shoe of the FL-VL on to the

Swivel Accessory Shoe of the bracket and secure with the Lock Ring.
Flash Function

Switch to the “FLASH” position. Then slide the Slave Switch to the “S1” position. The flash will
fire when you depress the shutter button to capture an image.
Cameras and camcorders without an accessory shoe: Synchronization of the flash is only
possible with the built-in Slave Sensor. If your camera or camcorder fires only a single flash,
then slide the Slave Switch to the “S1” position. Cameras and camcorders that emit a
pre-flash (double flash): Slide the Slave Switch to the “S2” position. Once the orange Ready
Light appears you are ready to capture an image.

To turn on the video light, slide the Function Switch to the “LAMP” position and the video

Congratulations on the purchase of the Sunpak FL-VL Combination Flash and Video Light for
your digital camera or camcorder. The FL-VL is a multi-purpose unit that can be used for both
digital cameras and camcorders. When used with a digital camera or camcorder in still image
mode, it decreases the occurrence of under exposed images due to the limitations of the
camera or camcorder’s built-in flash. When used with a digital camera or camcorder in video
mode, the video light feature provides additional illumination for better colors and contrast.
Cameras and camcorders without a hot shoe mount, the FL-VL Flash and Video Light can be
easily mounted using the supplied bracket.
