BASIC
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS:
(Automatic
Operation)
1. Insert
Batteries
intoHolder:
Insert batteries as illustrated into the
removable AA Battery Holder. The
holder has a guide showing the correct
positioning of the batteries for proper
polarity. Use either six AA alkaline or
six AA nickel-cadmium batteries.
Note: In addition you may also use the
Sunpak CL-2 NiCad Battery Cluster,
Sunpak 510V Powerpak or the Sunpak
World-Wide Voltage AC Adapter.
2. LoadHolderinto Battery
Chamber:
Insert the loaded battery holder as
illustrated into the battery chamber of
your AZ 3600. Close battery door
until it snaps.
Note: lf you are using the World-Wide
Voltage AC Adapter or the high volt-
age Sunpak 51OV Power Pak, plug
connecting cord into the AC/High
Voltage Socket on the back of the
unit.

3. Mounton Camera
(page
2Oll.
Attach camera to bracket and bracket
to flash clamp. Connect the PC cord to
the f
lash and camera. Set the shutter
speed dial to the fastest speed recom-
mended for flash synchronization (p.
11).
Note: Move the Mode Selector Switch
(on back) to the Auto position.
4. SetFilm SpeedScale:
Slide the red button until the appro-
priate film speed (ASA number) is
indicated. For ASA of your f
ilm, refer
to the instructions supplied with the
f
ilm.
5. Select Working
Aperture:
With most films, you will have
a choice
of four apertures in automatic opera-
tion (seven
in manual). For automatic
operation, choose any f/stop as indi-
cated in the Aperture Window and set
your lens to this corresponding f/stop.
For manual operation, adjust the
Power Ratio Control for the desired
aperture.

UnitOn:
Set on/off switch to 'batt.' position
Using the Ready Test (open flash)
button, f
ire the AZ 3600 about 5 times
to form the capacitor. The ready light
(amber
color) willglow when the AZ
3600 is ready to be f
ired. Be sure to
set the Mode Selector Switch to the
desired position. When in auto opera-
tion, the auto indicator light (green
color) will glow. In addition, when
your AZ 3600 is f
lashed,
the auto
indicator will verif
y correct automatic
exposure by blink momentarily.
7. A,m Adjustable
BounceFlash
Head:
The unique Adjustable Bounce Flash
Head of your AZ 3600 can be aimed in
virtually any direction. lf usingauto-
matic operation, the built-in sensorwill
properly adjust the f
lashfor perfectly-
exposed pictures. For off-camera auto
bounce f
lashoperation, the optional
Remote Sensor is recommended.
Note: The auto sensor must always
face the subject for proper auto ex-
posure control.

Alkaline
or Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries?
The major advantageof alkaline batteries
isthat they provide more flashes per set.
While nickel-cadmium batteries
will
provide fewer flashesper set, they will
recycle
your AZ 3600 slightly faster
and can be recharged hundreds of times
for more economical operation over the
long run.
Alkali-oder
Nickel-Cadmium-
Batter
ien
?
Der Hauptvorteil von Alkali-Batterien
besteht
darin, daB sie
eine groBere
Anzahl
von Blitzen liefern. Obwohl Nickel-
Cadmium-Batterien weniger Blitze liefern,
bewirken sieeine etwas schnellere
Blitz-
folge und lassen
sich von Malen wie-
deraufladen. Dadurch wird auf die Dauer
ein wirtschaftlicherer Betrieb desSunpak
AZ 3600 Blitzgerdteserzielt.
cPilasalcalinas
o deniquel-
cadmio?
La principal ventaja de las
alcalinas
radica
en que dan mayor n0mero de destellos
por
unidad que lasde niquel-cadmio, pero 6stas
recargan algo m6s r5pidamente el
AZ 3600, puditindose recargar
cientos de veces
para un funcionamiento
m5s econ6mico a largo plazo.
Piles
alcalines
ou nickel-
cadmium?
L'avantage majeur des piles alcalinesest
qu'elles permettent plus d'6clairs
par jeu.
Toutefois, si les
piles au nickel-cadmium
donnent moins d'6clairs,
elles
ont
l'avantage de recharger votre AZ 3600
l6gdrement plus vite et, du fait qu'elles
peuvent €tre recharg6es
des centaines de
fois, elles
permettent un fonctionnement
plus 6conomique d long terme.
1) To Install
Batteries:
1. Open the battery door as illustrated
and remove battery holder.
2. lnstall batteries as illustrated in the
holder. Be sure to observe correct
polarity or you may cause
damage to
your AZ 3600.
3. Replace Battery Holder in your AZ
3600. Extra Battery Holders may be
purchased for times when rapid re-
placement of batteries is necessary.
Note: The Battery Holder has been
designed to f it your AZ 3600 so asto
assureproper use. Do not force since it
will f
it in only the proper position.
