Using the Flash
1.Power Management
Use ON/OFF Power Switch to power the ash unit on or off. Turn
off if it will not be used for an extended period of time. This ash
unit has Sleep Function and will enter into sleep status when there
is no operation for a long time. For Sleep Function setting, see the
following instruction.
2.Flash Output
● Flash output can be varied from 1/128th power to 1/1 full power
in 1/3 stop increments. To obtain a correct ash exposure, use
a hand-held ash meter to determine the required ash output.
Adjust the power output by rotating Select Dial . The following
table makes it easier to see how the stop changes in terms off/
stop when you increase or decrease the ash output:
3. ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage
The ash coverage can be set to match the lens focal length from
20 mm to 200 mm. Press <
> button and rotate Select Dial <
> to change the ash coverage.
4. M Mode: Manual Mode
Press MODE Selection Button < > to enter M mode. In this
mode, you can set the ash unit onto your camera hot shoe or
your trigger hot shoe for ring. Before shooting, adjust the ash
power output. When the camera’s shutter is pressed, the ash
will re synchronously. Slave triggering mode is not available in M
mode.
5. Multi Mode: Stroboscopic Flash
Press Mode Selection Button < > to enter Multi mode
(Stroboscopic ash). With stroboscopic ash, a rapid series of
ashes is red. It can be used to capture multiple images of a
moving subject in a single photograph. You can set the ring
frequency (number of ashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the
number of ashes, and the ash output. For setting procedures,
see the following:
Press the Mode Selection Button
<
> so that “Multi” is displayed.
Figures displayed when reducing ash output level
Figures displayed when increasing ash output level
When setting the ash coverage, make sure it covers the lens
focal length so that the picture will not have a dark periphery.
When “OF” is shown on the LCD display, it means no ash
output and ash ring is turned off.

Press Set Button <
> to select the
item to be set. The item blinks.
Rotate Select Dial <
> to set a
desired number.
Calculating the Shutter Speed
During stroboscopic ash, the shutter remains open until the ring
stops. Use the provided formula to calculate the shutter speed
required to capture the full sequence of ashes:
Number of ashes / Firing frequency = Shutter speed
For example, if the number of ashes is 10 and the ring frequency is
5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 sec.
Note:
● Stroboscopic ash is most effective with a highly reective
subject against a dark background.
● Using a tripod and a remote switch is recommended.
● A ash output of 1/1 or 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic
ash.
● Stroboscopic ash can be used with “buLb”.
