For Your Safety
• Always keep this product dry. Do not use in rain or in damp conditions.
• This product contains high-voltage electronic parts. Touching the
high-voltage circuit inside it may result in electric shock. Do not disas-
semble. Should repairs become necessary, this product must be sent to
an authorized maintenance center.
• Stop using this product if it breaks open due to internal shifting, falling
or strong impact. STRONG electric shock may occur if you touch the
components inside it.
• Do not re the ash directly into the eyes (especially those of babies
and pets) within short distances. Otherwise visual impairment may
occur. When taking pictures for babies, keep the ash unit at least 1
meter (3.3 feet) away from them. Using bounce ash to reduce light
intensity is also recommended.
• Do not use the ash unit in the presence oammable gases, chemicals
and other similar materials. In certain circumstances, these materials
may be sensitive to the strong light emitting from this ash unit and
re may result.
• Do not leave or store the ash unit if the ambient temperature reads
over S0°C (e.g. in automobile in the sun). Otherwise the electronic parts
may be damaged.
• Do not use any power supply other than the intended one to power
the unit.
• Do not insert metal parts into any lighting equipment.
• Do not touch the electrical contacts on the ash or battery or contact
them with any conductive materials.
• Power the unit only with two M batteries. Do not modify the power
source or input. Excess voltage can damage the unit and yourself.
• This ash has an over-heat protection circuit, rapid continuous ring
will cause the ash to slow operation and trigger a“cool down”period.
After this period, the ash will resume normal operation. You may also
reboot the ash by cycling the power o and then on.
• Do not use selective coloring.
• Do not use the ash to support other equipment. For example, do not
lift your camera by the ash.
• In case of abnormal function, sparks, excessive heat, ames or smoke,
immediately power o the unit and disconnect the battery if safely
possible. Have it checked by an authorized technician.
• Store the ash with the batteries removed. Storing the ash with the
batteries in it can lead to battery leakage.

Power Management
Flash Mode: TTL Autoash
This ash has three ash modes: TTL, Manual (M), and Multi (Stroboscop-
ic). In TTL mode, the camera and the ash will work together to calculate
the correct exposure for the subject and the background. In this mode,
multiple TTL functions are available: FEC, HSS, second curtain sync, etc.
* Press <MODE> Mode Selection Button and three ash modes will
display on the LCD panel one by one with each pressing.
TTL Mode
Press <MODE> Mode Selection Button to enter TTL mode. The LCD
panel will display <TTL>.
•Press the camera release button halfway to focus.
• When the shutter button is fully pressed, the ash will re a pre-ash
that the camera will use to calculate exposure and ash output the
instant before the photo is taken.
Display“HI”: When the ash output value is up to the maximum
value,“HI”will be displayed and blinking for 3 seconds.
Adjust the camera’s parameters if underexposure appears.
Display“Lo”: When the ash output value is up to the minimum
value,“Lo”will be displayed and blinking for 3 seconds.
Adjust the camera’s parameters if overexposure appears.
Use Power Switch to power the ash unit on (Long press the button
for one second) or o. Turn o if it will not be used for an extended
period of time. Setting as a master ash, it will turn the power o auto-
matically after a certain period (approx. 90 seconds) of idle use. Pressing
the camera shutter halfway or pressing any ash button will wake up the
ash unit. Setting as a slave ash, it will enter sleep mode after a certain
period (adjustable, 60 minutes by default) of idle use. Pressing any ash
button will wake it up.
Disabling Auto Power O function is recommended
when the ash is used o camera. (C.Fn-ST, )

FEC: Flash Exposure Compensation
With FEC function, this ash can adjust from -3 to +3 in 1/3rd stops. It is
useful in situations where minor adjusting of the TTL system is needed
based on the environment.
Setting FEC:
High Speed Sync
High Speed Sync (HSS ash) enables the ash to synchronize with all
camera shutter speeds. This is convenient when you want to use aperture
priority for ll-ash portraits.
Setting the ash to High-speed Sync mode when on camera:
Use the Flash Setting > Flash Light Function Setting on the camera’s
shooting menu to adjust settings of the ash light. For more details,
please refer to camera’s instruction menu.
• With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the shorter
the eective ash range.
• Multi ash mode cannot be set in high-speed sync mode.
• Over-temperature protection may be activated after 15
consecutive high-speed sync ashes.
• Try to avoid using high-speed sync ash, which will cut short
ash tube’s lifetime.

M: Manual Flash
The ash output is adjustable from 1/1 full power to 1/128th power
in 1/3rd stop increments. To obtain a correct ash exposure, use a
hand-held ash meter to determine the required ash output.
Flash Output Range
The following table makes it easier to see how the stop changes in terms
of f/stop when you increase or decrease the ash output. For example,
when you decrease the ash output to 1/2, 1/2-0.3, or 1/2-0.7, and then
increase the ash output to more than 1/2, 1/2+0.3, 1/2+0.7, and 1/1 will
be displayed.
Figures displayed when reducing ash output level
In the M mode, high-speed sync and second curtain sync functions
can be achieved.
Optical S1 Secondary Unit Setting
In M manual ash mode, press the <SLAVE> button so that this ash
can function as an optic S1 secondary ash with optic sensor. With this
function, the ash will re synchronously when the main ash res, the
same eect as that by the use of radio triggers.
Optical S2 Secondary Unit Setting
Press the <SLAVE> button so that this ash can also function as an optic
S2 secondary ash with optic sensor in M manual ash mode. This is
useful when cameras have pre-ash function. With this function, the
ash will ignore a single“preash” from the main ash and will only re
in response to the second, actual ash from the main unit.
S1 and S2 optic triggering and o camera high-speed mode
are only available in M manual ash mode.

Multi: Stroboscopic Flash
With stroboscopic ash, a rapid series of ashes is red. It can be
used to capture a multiple images of a moving subject in a single
photograph.
You can set the ring frequency (number of ashes per sec.
expressed as Hz), the number of ashes, and the ash output.
Calculating the Shutter Speed
During stroboscopic ash, the shutter remains open until the ring
stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed and set
it with the camera.
Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed
For example, if the number of ashes is 10 and the ring frequency
is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.

After 10 times, allow the camera ash to rest for at least 15
minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic ash more than
10 times in succession, the ring might stop automatically
to protect the ash head. If this happens, allow at least 15
minutes’rest for the camera ash.
• Stroboscopic ash is most eective with a highly reective
subject against a dark background.
• Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.
• Stroboscopic ash can be used with“buLb”.
• If the number of ashes is displayed as“--”, the ring will
continue until the shutter closes or the battery is exhausted.
The number of ashes will be limited as shown by the
following table.

Wireless Flash Shooting: Radio (2.4G)
Transmission
• You can set up three slave groups for TTL autoash shooting. With
TTL autoash, you can easily create various lighting eects.
• Any ash settings for the slave units on the master ash in TTL
mode will be automatically sent to the slave units. So the only
thing you need to do is to set the master unit for each slave
group without any operation for the slave units at all during the
shooting.
