Page 16: Connecting The Strobe
Connecting the Strobe When you use this strobe, connect the strobe to the camera (housing) with a fiber-optic cable (optional). Using a built-in slave sensor, this strobe is triggered by sensing the light from a digital camera's built-in flash. If the fiber-optic cable is not used, depending on the shooting conditions the strobe may either not fire, or not obtain DS-TTL flash exposure compensation. - Page 17 Connecting the Strobe CAUTION When shooting, set the built-in flash of the camera to the forced-flash mode. The strobe will not fire unless the built-in flash of the camera fires. Refer to the digital camera instruction manual for setting the forced-flash mode. Refer to the fiber-optic cable instruction manual before use.
