[. . . ] Printed on 70% or more recycled paper using VOC (Volatile Organic Compound)-free vegetable oil based ink. Before operating the product, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference. To reduce fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Tape over lithium battery contacts to avoid short-circuit when disposing of batteries, and follow local regulations for battery disposal. [. . . ] 4 ~ 32 Upper set of numbers is for two twin flash units. When using other than ISO 100, or when using the wide panel or diffuser Using the f/stop scale at the left, moving one step vertically is equal to a full-stop change. Moving one step diagonally is equal to a half-stop change. 3 stop setting camera, adjust the aperture by a value as close as possible to a value in the above table and use the aperture around the f/stop scale. for precise photography , bracketing is recommended. Example: Starting at f/8, if you decrease the exposure by a full stop, you get f/11. If you increase by half a stop, you get f/6. Selecting the aperture when using other than ISO 100, or when using the wide panel or diffuser 1 Check the calculated acceptable aperture range under the same condition with ISO 100 by using the table on page 27. When viewed from the rear (control panel side), the manual-flash-control dial for twin flash A is on the left, and that for twin flash B is on the right. You can select any power level setting on the upper scale from 1/1 to 1/64. In manual flash mode, if a proper exposure has been obtained, the flashready lamp will not blink on the control panel after a photo is taken. Using customized functions, manual flash may be selected without setting the camera in M mode. The size of the steps on the manual-flash-control dials can also be changed from full-stop increments to half-stop increments (p. The following tables show the values when ISO 100 is used without the wide panel or diffuser. For other ISO speeds, or if you use the wide panel or diffuser, adjust the aperture settings according to the table on page 38. When using the twin flash units, the data assumes that the power lever is the same for both units. If they are set at different power levels, see page 37. The aperture values given in the tables are calculated values. 8 Macro lens when ISO 100, with a pair of twin flash units with no arm, power level of 1/1, and a magnification ratio of 1:1 The aperture is calculated at f/90 (refer to the following table). However, the smallest actual aperture possible with this lens is f/32. Therefore, if you set the power level to 1/1, the picture will be overexposed. But if you set the power level to 1/8, you will get a correct exposure at f/32. [. . . ] When using lithium batteries, if the batteries become hot due to high temperature or continuous use, lamp may blink and the flash may not work for a while. Wait for the batteries to cool down before using the flash again. Lamp starts Nickel-metal hydride batteries can lose power suddenly. If blinking or the flash can no longer be used while taking pictures, change or recharge the batteries. [. . . ]
