The following operating instructions are conceived such that they describe a

SCA 3xx2 adapter.

This flash unit is compatible with:
• all cameras that have a hot shoe contact
• all cameras that have an accessory shoe without hot-shoe contact, and use
a synch cable (see Optional Extras)

Optimal adaptation to your camera is achieved by using an SCA adapter.
The enclosed SCA 3xx2/3xx Table will indicate the adapter you require for
your particular camera. This table also indicates the special flash functions
that can then be performed.
