‹OP (Option) switch ———————————————————
When the power switch is set to the “OP” position as shown in photo 6, the focusing
lamps built into the four corners of the light emitting section light continuously. This
light can be used as AF auxiliary lighting under low light or as auxiliary lighting
when a strobe light would be too strong to use.
Lighting of Ready Lamp
f The flash is ready to fire as soon as the Ready lamp lights. However, if full-power
firing is attempted immediately after the Ready lamp lights, the f-value will be
one step darker than the specified guide number. To obtain full power, wait about
5 to 10 seconds after the Ready lamp lights.
f When using the unit in the Multi-firing mode, be sure to use brand-new batteries
so that they can be recharged fully.
f If it takes more than 30 seconds for the Ready lamp to come back on after the
flash is fired at full power, it is likely that the batteries are exhausted. Replace
them with new ones.
Focusing Lamps
The unit has four focusing lamps to support focusing.
When the LAMP button on the power supply section or
on the back of the light emitting section is pressed (both
buttons are shown in photo on right), the focusing lamps
light for about 30 seconds, then turn off again. However,
if the fl ash is emitted within 30 seconds, the focusing
lamps automatically turn off immediately before fi ring.
The focusing lamps can also be turned off by pressing
the LAMP button again. The focusing lamps are
designed for use under low light when the AF might have
diffi culty obtaining focus, but they can also be used to
shoot pictures using their light alone. In the latter case,
do not press the LAMP button but set the power switch
to the “OP” position. The lamps will remain on as long as
the power switch is in this position.
