sound. Upon completion of charging, the

the lamp changes from blinking to steady
lighting.)

* Before mounting on the camera, be careful
so that the shoe terminals do not short-circuit
with the power ON. If t he terminals make
contact, light may be emitted suddenly or
failure may result.
* Using Nickel Metal-Hydride batteries is
recommended to shorten the charging time
and increase the number of times the strobe
may be lit.
Mounting on the camera
When the PF30X is mounted on or dismounted from the camera, be sure
to turn OFF the Power switch. If the PF30X is mounted or dismounted
with the power ON, malfunction or failure of the camera may result.
1. Insert the strobe into the camera hot shoe firmly and turn the Lock ring
counterclockwise and secure the flash.
2. After mounting the flash on the shoe, turn ON both the power of the
camera and that of the flash. The shutter speed is automatically set.
Now the flash shooting is ready. Start shooting after confirming that the
AUTO CHECK lamp is ON. If the AUTO CHECK lamp does not go ON,
the distance to the object is too far. Move to the near point where the
AUTO CHECK lamp goes ON for shooting.
Test button
The TEST/CHARGE button and the Ready lamp
are physically the same. For test lighting, press this
button after the Ready lamp is lit. Use test lighting
to confirm lighting.
When full light mode is used just after the Ready lamp starts to blink,
the photos may become dark due to insufficiency of the amount of
light. Therefore, to get the photos with the optimum amount of light, it is
recommended to wait until blinking changes to steady lighting.
Information on the Ready lamp
* If the Ready lamp blinks for more than 30 seconds (that is, if it blinks for
more than 30 seconds after emitting the light pressing TEST/CHARGE
button without mounting on the camera), the voltage of the used batteries
is low. Replace the batteries.
