Features and Functions of the Sunpak RD2000
When this unit is installed on a camera and switched on,
the unit automatically adjusts brightness on the E-TTL II
(Canon), I-TTL (Nikon) or ADI (Sony) operation to enable
accurate, optimum fi ring.
The position of the subject or the use of bounce lighting
may make the brightness level insuffi cient or excessive.
This unit has an EV ADJUST button that allows you to
easily increase or decrease the brightness as required.
Bounce lighting is possible at an upward angle of up to 90
degrees.
Less than half the size of our previous model and weighing
about 85 grams less, the RD2000 boasts a compact,
lightweight design that provides a high degree of freedom
in camera work. In addition, when the unit is not installed on
the camera, the shoe section can be ratated inside the fl ash
body so that the unit can be carried even in a shirt pocket.
Welcome to the worldwide family of Sunpak owners.
Your Sunpak RD2000 is a fl ash unit designed exclusively for
use with a Canon (CA/E-TTLII), Nikon (NE/I-TTL) or Sony
(SO/ADI) digital SLR camera. Note that it cannot be used with
other cameras. Please read this owner’s manual carefully so
that you can use this unit correctly.
Handling Precaution
When the fl ash is installed on the camera, do not hold the
combination by the fl ash; otherwise the camera could slip off the
shoe.
