SWITCHING ON/OFF AND CHECKING THE OPERATION OF
THE DUA FLASH
To switch on the flash unit, slide the main switch to the "ON" position.
The "READY" indicator will light up when the flash unit is ready. First
check the flash function. The flash unit should fire when you press
the TEST button. If the flash unit discharges completely after fired,
wait until the "READY" indicator glows again. Then check the video
light function. Slide the LED ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position and
the LED Video light should turn on.
To switch off the flash unit, slide the main switch to "OFF" position.
DUA FLASH VIDEO LIGHT FUNCTION
USING THE INTERGRATED LED VIDEO LIGHT
Due to the increasing popularity of recording
video using DSLR cameras, we added into
this flash unit an LED video light. This video
light allows you to record video in low light
conditions. The LED video light is composed
of 3 LEDs, each with 1W power. To turn on the
LED video light, just slide the LED ON/OFF
switch to the "ON" position. The video light will
then be switched on.
It is not recommended to turn on the LED video light during a
photo shoot.
DUA FLASH FLASH FUNCTION
USING THE FLASH FUNCTION OF THE DUO FLASH
Each tap on the MODE KEY allows you to change the flash
operation in the following sequence: TTL -> Manual (M) -> Slave(S) ->
back to TTL.
At each mode, you can select the options in that mode by tapping
the SET key.
ILLUMINATION OF LCD DISPLAY (LCD)
The LCD is used to show the general information of the camera and
the infomation regarding the flash function of the flash unit. Every
time a key is tapped, the LCD will illuminate for about 5 seconds.
POWER ZOOMING
• Automatic motor zoom control
If you use a zoom lens, it could transmit
focal length information to the camera.
The camera will pass this information to
this flash unit. This flash unit will then
automatically adjust its zoom position to
comply with the focal length of the lens. The LCD will indicate the
zooming position of 24/28/35/50/70/85mm.
Automatic motor zoom control is only possible with cameras that
allow digital data transmission to the flashgun.
When this flash unit is first switched on, the zoom position is set
to 35mm. As soon as the camera's shutter is lightly touched, the
focal length of this flash unit will then automatically adapt to the
focal length of the lens.
If the flash head is at bounce or swivel position, the zooming
position will be adjusted to 50mm and indicated on the LCD as
auto mode 50mm.
• Manual motor-zoom control
The "ZOOM" key permits you to change
the zoom reflector's position regardless
of the focal length of the lens. By slightly
tapping the "ZOOM" key you can select
the zoom position in the following
sequence: Auto Zoom position -> M24 ->
M28 -> M35 -> M50 -> M70 -> M85 ->
back to Auto Zoom position
BOUNCE AND SWIVEL FLASH
Using direct flash to illuminate a subject will result in harsh, unnatural
and unattractive shadows. This can be avoided by bounce and/or
swivel flash. The flash head can be tilted to an angle of 45°, 60°, 75°,
or 90° and rotated horizontially 180° to the left and 90° to the right.
You can tilt or rotate the flash head to bounce the light off the ceiling
or walls. While shooting indoor, this technique can help to create
more natural-looking pictures of people with softer shadows. When
TAKING PICTURES
• Automatic flash sync speed control
When this flash unit is ready for photo shooting, the camera will
automatically switch it to flash sync speed from program mode or
aperture-priority mode selected. The sync speed depends on the
camera model and usually ranges between 1/30sec to 1/250sec.
When a flash shot has been taken, "OK" symbol flashes shortly on
the LCD to confirm correct exposure.
• TTL flash control
This flash unit is set to TTL mode when swtiched on, and the LCD
indicates "TTL". When the Ready indicator lights up, press the
shutter release fully to take the picture. The advanced
programming and computerized circuitry of this flash unit provide
correct amount of flash light output according to the camera's
exposure measurement through the lens (TTL).
MANUAL MODE
To manually set the power output of this flash unit, tap the MODE
key till a M (Manual) symbol shows up on the LCD. The LCD
automatically displays the flash-to-subject distance required for a
correct exposure. An adaptation to the individual shooting situation
can be achieved by changing the lens diaphragm or the focal length
(on the camera). 5 options of "Power Ratio", 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and
1/16, could be selected by tapping the SET key.
FRONT AND REAR-CURTAIN SYNCHRONIZATION
Some cameras offer the option of rear curtain synchronization (Rear
mode) triggering the flash unit at the end of the exposure time. Rear
curtain synchronization is particularly advantageous when using slow
shutter speeds (slower than 1/30 sec.) or when shooting moving
objects that have their own source of light. Rear curtain
synchronization gives a more realistic impression of movement
because the light streaks behind the light source instead of building
up in front of it, as is the case when the flash is synchronized with the
front shutter curtain. Depending on its operation mode, the camera
uses shutter speeds slower than its sync speed.
using bounce or swivel flash, the zooming
position will be locked in 50mm, except in
Manual mode.
In order to have your pictures correctly
exposed using bounce or swivel flash, the
following is recommended to users:
(1) Select white or reflective surfaces to
bounce the light off. Otherwise your
pictures will come with an unnatural color
cast similar to that of the reflecting surface.
(2) Set the camera's exposure mode to
Aperture Priority Auto (" A") or
Manual ("M")
(3) Use a wider aperture than you normally do,
as 2 or 3 stops of light can be lost when
using bounce or swivel flash

Built-in Reflecting Plate and Wide Panel
This flash unit has built-in reflecting plate and wide panel. You can
slide out the reflecting plate or wide panel from the top of the
flash head.
Bouncing the flash head and using reflecting plate can help to
create more natural-looking pictures of people with softer
shadows. The wide panel can extend the coverage of the
flash unit.
For Type P flash: You could select the synchronization mode as either
front curtain (
) or rear curtain (
flash will fire according to the mode selected to match with the
camera shutter.
For Type C, N, OP , S flash: The camera controls front or rear-curtain
synchronization, therefore no setting is required to be done on
the flash.
Note: The rear curtain synchronization is only possible on cameras
with this feature. See your camera's instruction manual for details.
RED-EYE REDUCTION (Type N, OP & P)
Red-eye reduction function reduces the red-eye phenomenon by
emitting pre-flashes before the main flash. To set up this function,
please refer to camera instruction manual.
POWER SAVE
If this flash unit has been idle for more than 3 minutes, the flash will
automatically be switched to power save mode in order to save
battery power. The Ready light will be off while in this mode.
To reactivate the flash unit, simply press your camera's shutter or
switch the main switch off and on again. This flash unit is not
completely switched off in power save mode. However, power
consumption is drastically reduced. If you are not going to use this
flash unit for a while, we recommend you to turn it off.
