Features and Function of the Sunpak PZ40X
* Multi-step Auto Power Zoom function automatically provides optical flash coverage
matched to the focal length of the lens in use. (24-80mm)
* Super-compact size. This unit is 40% smaller and 2-1/2 oz. (70g) lighter than previous
flash units with the same features and power output, making it far easier to handle
on-camera, while taking up little space in your camera bag.
* You can use the PZ40X in the ADI Mode (When you use both camera and lens having this
function) which employs a high accurate TTL flash control.
* A large, easy to read LCD panel displays all the information needed to monitor and control
all flash settings. The panel can be illuminated for easy reading in dark conditions.
The data display remains on for 5 seconds after pressing the display button.
* The PZ40X has a built-in auto-focus assist light, which comes on automatically to aid
auto-focusing at low light levels.
* The PZ40X provides five Manual flash output settings, from full power to 1/16.
* The PZ40X has a power-saving function that turns the unit off automatically if it hasn't
been used for 5 minutes. This energy-saving feature reduces battery consumption.
* The PZ40X flash head can be tilted upward incrementally to a full 90 degrees (vertical),
for convenient bounce flash capability.
Note:
* When using the PZ40X on your camera, please hold your camera and not the flash. If
you hold onto the PZ40X only, your camera may slip off the flash foot and be damaged,
or the weight of the camera may damage the flash foot.
*If you use PZ40X with cameras other than Sony α series, you can only use it in
Manual Mode. Please refer to Page 17.
*Depending on the type of lens used, the distance may not be indicated on the LCD
Display.
*PZ40X can not be used the second curtain synchronization.
Important: Flash coverage limitations
When using a lens with a focal length less than 24mm, the PZ40X will not cover the
entire field of view, and the edges and corners of the image will be dark. Also, the overall
exposure may not be correct. Please use this unit with lenses of 24mm or greater focal
length.
