Main Switch and Pilot Lamp
Set the main switch at ON after photographing
preparations are completed. If the pilot lamp
lights up after a while, it means the flash unit
is ready for firing in automatic mode. Further
more, if the pilot lamp flashes on and off, it
means that the flash unit is fully charged.
Test Firing and Confidence Light
A flash is fired when the test firing button is
pressed after the pilot lamp lights up. If
the subject is within the range on the auto
matic mode, the confidence light will light up
green after the flash is fired. Thus, there is a
way of determining in advance if the flash-to-
subject distance is sufficiently close for the
one of the three auto coupling ranges. This
feature is especially convenient for bouncing
of flash. The confidence light will not light
up if the flash-to-subject distance is outside
the auto coupling range. The confidence light
will not also light up when the aperture
selector switch at the back of the flash unit
is set to ‘M’ posidion.
