Operation Instruction

Power On

Turn the OFF/M/A dial to M (manual flash) mode or A (auto flash) mode to power on the device. Turn it to OFF mode to power off.

Note: Install the flash to the camera, then turn on the camera and flash.

M Manual Flash Mode

1. Turn the OFF/M/A dial to M manual flash mode.
2. According to the camera's ISO value (e.g., ISO 100), find the corresponding ISO value on the power adjust dial.
3. Turn the meter panel to align the distance value with the chosen ISO value based on the current shooting distance (e.g., 4 meters).
4. The flash power is the value on the dial aligned with the aperture value (e.g., f2.8). In this example, the flash power should be set to 'Full' (1). Turn the power adjust dial to align the power value (1) with the OUTPUT arrow. The flash is now ready.

A Auto Flash Mode

Turn the OFF/M/A dial to A auto flash mode.

The default ISO and aperture are 100 and f2.8 respectively in A auto flash mode.

Practical Form of A Auto Flash Mode

Note: Using an improper extra long lens may affect the output in A auto flash mode.

Optical Control Mode

S1 Optical Control

The S1 optical control function is available in M manual flash mode. Push the OFF/S1/S2 button to S1. The flash functions as an optical S1 secondary flash, firing synchronously with the main flash, similar to radio triggers. This allows for multiple lighting effects.

S2 Optical Control

The S2 optical control function is also available in M manual flash mode. Push the OFF/S1/S2 button to S2. The flash functions as an optical S2 secondary flash, suitable for TTL flash. It ignores a single "pre-flash" from the main flash and fires only in response to the second, actual flash from the main unit.

Note: S1/S2 optical control is only available in M manual flash mode.
