●The number of times a digital cameraʼs bult-in flash will fire differs among models. Depending on the number of pre-flashes, mode switch settings can differ, so check settings before shooting by conducting test flashes. “To check the mode switch”(P.E-23) ●[ ] and [ ] have exactly the same performance when the strobe is connected with a sync cord. ●When 60 minutes has passed from turning on the power, or last emission of the strobe, the power will turn off automatically (auto power-off). When turning on the power again, set the mode switch to [OFF] before setting the desired mode. ●When in manual mode, the camera remembers the state when the power is turned OFF, so if the power is turned OFF in manual 2 mode, the next time the power is turned ON, the camera will start up from manual 2 mode. If the mode switch is set to [TTL] or [RC], and a fiber-optic cable is connected, EV compensation is performed. Press the button and hold it down for 3 seconds in Manual mode to switch to Manual 2 mode.
