What is pre-luminescence?
Some digital cameras use a pre-flash to adjust the light before shooting (main flash). This
pre-lighting is called pre-lighting.
RC Set when using the wireless RC system of the
OM SYSTEM camera.
TTL Set for TTL dimming.
●DS-TTL mode is selected.
“DS-TTL mode shooting”（P.E-25）
Each mode and character emission color
The letters on the mode switch and light intensity control dial emit light in a predetermined
emission color for each mode. The following table shows the luminescence colors in each
mode.
Various settings can be made in the customize mode.（P.E-31）

Always attach the "Rubber Cap for Fiber Optic Socket" to the fiber optic socket except
when attaching the fiber optic cable. If the power is turned on while the optical sensor
is exposed, the optical sensor may react to external light and unexpected light
emission may occur.
Caution Do not turn on the power with the light sensor exposed

●The flash pattern of the built-in flash differs depending on the model of the digital
camera. Since it is necessary to set a customized mode depending on the flash
pattern, please check the setting by firing a test flash before shooting.
“Check mode switch”（P.E-26）
●The power will automatically turn off (auto power off) after 60 minutes of inactivity
since the power was turned on or since the last light was emitted. When turning on
the power again, set the mode switch to [OFF] once and then set the desired mode.
●This strobe remembers the state in which it was turned off, so if the power is turned
off in Manual 2 mode, the strobe will start up in Manual 2 mode the next time the
power is turned on.
Name of each part
Target Light Button
●The target light will remain on until the button is pressed to turn the light off, the
mode switch is set to [OFF], or the power is turned off with auto power off.
●The brightness of the target light may become unstable depending on the amount
of remaining battery power, but this is not a malfunction.
Caution
Press the button to turn the target light on at high
intensity. Press the button again to turn on the target
light at a low intensity, and again to turn it off.
If the strobe fires while the target light is on, the target
light will turn off and turn on again after 0.5 seconds.
In manual mode, holding this button down for 3
seconds alternates between manual 1 and manual 2
modes.
Light Quantity Adjustment Dial
When the mode is set to [ ] or [ ], light intensity can
be adjusted in 11 steps (GN: 1 / 1.4 / 2 / 2.8 / 4 / 5.6 / 8 /
11 / 16 / 22 / 33). The light intensity setting can be checked
using the pointer.
When set to [TTL] or [RC] and connected via fiber-optic cable, EV compensation
from +2.0EV to -2.0EV is possible.
(EV : -2.0 / -1.5 / -1.0 / -0.7 / -0.3 / N(+/-0) / +0.3 / +0.7 / +1.0 / +1.5 / +2.0)

When attaching this product to an arm, etc., insert the fixing bolt into the
strobe YS base from the direction where the nut is not located and fix it in
place.
● See "Strobe Ball Base/Strobe YS Base (P.E-15)"
for details on how to install the Strobe YS Base.
● Be careful not to install the fixing bolt by inserting it from the direction where the nut
is located, as it may damage the strobe YS base or other components.
●Do not strongly tighten the fixing bolt to the product while the arm or other parts are
removed.
● Remove the fixing bolt when storing the product. The strobe YS base may be
deformed, making it difficult to attach the strobe to the arm.
By changing the mounting direction of the
strobe YS base, the fixing bolt can be
attached from either the left or right side.
