Page 4: Power Supply / Rechargeable Battery
. Power supply / rechargeable battery Lithium-manganese batteries in the flash arm The lithium-manganese batteries housed in the flash arm are extremely robust and reliable. Unlike lithium-polymer lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, there is no risk of a lithium-cobalt reaction (explosion-like metallic fire) In the event of a malfunction such as a battery failure or overloading, or due to old age. -
Page 5: Self Discharge
SELF DISCHARGE The internal Li Mg accumulator will discharge even when you are not using the flash gun. The accumulator discharges fully after approx. 4-6 weeks (dependent upon the outdoor temperature). It then switches to exhaustive discharge mode, which will damage the accumulator. -
Page 6: Pilot Lamp
. PILOT LAMP The pilot lamp facilitates orientation at night and enables you to see objects on the display of a digital camera. The pilot lamp is switched on by turning the rotary switch to “PILOT1” or “PILOT2”. Switch Position Power Dimmer function 100%... -
Page 7: Areas Of Application For Ttl
. AREAS OF APPLICATION FOR TTL The flash gun is suitable for the corresponding areas of application according to the working aperture selected on the flash gun (underwater, the murkiness of the water is also a deciding factor). The most effective working aperture for different shooting situations varies according to the necessary range and the desirable depth-of-field zone. -
Page 8: Ttl Flash Operation With Digital Cameras (Right Socket)
. TTL FLASH OPERATION with digital cameras (right socket) In contrast to analog cameras, digital cameras are not recognized automatically as each device has a special control mechanism. Connect the camera to the right flash socket (where there are two sockets) and set the selector switch to “TTL” or “PILOT”. The flash gun is fully controlled by the camera, and data is continually transferred between the two devices. -
Page 9: Manual Flash Gun Operation
Please consult your camera’s user guide to see whether it is capable of controlling a flash gun in manual mode. This is not a problem with CANON and NIKON models equipped with nova featuring a +/- switch with the M setting. The flash gun emits a constant light source according to the selector switch setting (1/1 to 1/32 ). -
Page 10: Slave Flash Control Depends On The Model
The optical slave triggering works only correct with analogical cameras or with digital cameras in manual-mode. the short Version of Nova has no slave-function included, because modern digital cameras do not support this function. This depends on the pre-flash.to use the slave-Mode via sensor you need a slave-flash-trigger-module to control theslave flash. -
