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 disassemble. Should repairs become necessary, this product must be sent to an
authorized maintenance center.
Stop using this product if it breaks open due to extrusion, falling or strong hit. Otherwise, electric shock may
occur if you touch the electronic parts inside it.
Do not fire the flash directly into the eyes (especially those of babies) within short distances. Otherwise visual
impairment may occur. When taking pictures for babies, keep the flash unit at least 1 meter (3.3 feet) away
from them. Using bounce flash to reduce light intensity is also recommended.
Do not use the flash unit in the presence of flammable gases, chemicals and other similar materials. In certain
circumstances, these materials may be sensitive to the strong light emitting from this flash unit and fire or
electromagnetic interference may result.
Do not leave or store the flash unit if the ambient temperature reads over 50°C (e.g. in automobile). Otherwise
the electronic parts may be damaged.

With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture a multiple images of a moving
subject in a single photograph. You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the
number of flashes, and the flash output.
Press <MODE> button so that
1<MULTI> is displayed.
Calculating the Shutter Speed
During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing 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 flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2
seconds.
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in
succession. After 10 times, allow the camera flash to rest for at least 15 minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic
flash more than 10 times in succession, the firing might stop automatically to protect the flash head. If this happens,
allow at least 15 minutes' rest for the camera flash.
● Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject against a dark background.
● Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.
● A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash.
● Stroboscopic flash can be used with“buLb”.
● If the number of flashes is displayed as “--”, the firing will continue until the shutter closes or the battery is
exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited as shown by the following table.

Wireless Flash: Optical Transmission
AD600 supports wireless flash functions and can be set as slave unit. Choose
Canon or Nikon optical wireless system through C. FN-REMOTE on the MENU list.
* Compatible Canon optical wireless system: AD600 can receive wireless signals of Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII,
600EX-RT and commanders of Canon cameras e.g. 7D/60D/600D.
* Compatible Nikon optical wireless system: AD600 can receive wireless signals of Nikon speedlights e.g. SB-900,
SB-910 and commanders of D7100/D7000/D800.
● You can set up one to five slave groups for TTL autoflash shooting. With TTL autoflash, you can easily create
various lighting effects.
● Any flash settings (of flash exposure compensation, high-speed sync, FE lock, FEB, manual flash, Multi flash) on
the master unit will be automatically sent to the slave units. So the only thing you need to do is to set the master
unit to TTL mode without any operation for the slave units at all during the shooting.
This flash can work in TTL autoflash, M manual flash, and Multi stroboscopic flash modes when set as a master ●
unit.

Wireless Multiple Flash Shooting
You can divide the slave units into two or three groups and perform TTL autoflash while changing the flash ratio
(factor). In addition, you can set and shoot with a different flash mode for each firing group.
