Congratulations on the purchase of the Sunpak FL-VL Combination Flash and Video Light for
your digital camera or camcorder. The FL-VL is a multi-purpose unit that can be used for both
digital cameras and camcorders. When used with a digital camera or camcorder in still image
mode, it decreases the occurrence of under exposed images due to the limitations of the
camera or camcorder’s built-in flash. When used with a digital camera or camcorder in video
mode, the video light feature provides additional illumination for better colors and contrast.
Cameras and camcorders without a hot shoe mount,the FL-VL Flash and Video Light can be
easily mounted using the supplied bracket.
