Discharging of the Flash Capacitor

The charging capacitor for the flash has been charged at high voltage. Therefore, there is a possibility of an electric
shock if you directly handle this capacitor.
The high-voltage charge will not be discharged by simply turning off the unit's power. Make sure any remaining voltage
is discharged by short-circuiting the flash capacitor with a Short Jig.
Preparing the Short Jig
Make a Short Jig by connecting a small clip to each lead of a resistor with a rated value of approximately 1 kΩ/1 W.
In order to prevent an electric shock, wrap insulating tape completely around the resistor and its leads.
Resistor with a rated value of approximately
1 k  /1 W (Part No. 1-215-869-11).
Small clip
Wrap insulating tape completely
around the resistor and its leads.
