This light can be used as AF auxiliary lighting under low light or as auxiliary lighting when a strobe light would be too strong to use. Focusing Lamps The unit has four focusing lamps to support focusing. When the LAMP button on the power supply section or on the back of the light emitting section is pressed (both buttons are shown in photo on right), the focusing lamps light for about 30 seconds, then turn off again. However, if the flash is emitted within 30 seconds, the focusing lamps automatically turn off immediately before firing. The focusing lamps can also be turned off by pressing the LAMP button again. The focusing lamps are designed for use under low light when the AF might have difficulty obtaining focus, but they can also be used to shoot pictures using their light alone. In the latter case, do not press the LAMP button but set the power switch to the "OP" position. The lamps will remain on as long as the power switch is in this position. Lighting of Ready Lamp The flash is ready to fire as soon as the Ready lamp lights. However, if full-power firing is attempted immediately after the Ready lamp lights, the f-value will be one step darker than the specified guide number. To obtain full power, wait about 5 to 10 seconds after the Ready lamp lights. When using the unit in the Multi-firing mode, be sure to use brand-new batteries so that they can be recharged fully. If it takes more than 30 seconds for the Ready lamp to come back on after the flash is fired at full power, it is likely that the batteries are exhausted.
