Sunpak PZ40X MX - Manual (Page 8)

There are five power-output settings available with
the PZ40X in manual mode, from full power to 1/16
power. First, push the Mode Selector button
continually until “M” is displayed. The flash will then
be in the Manual mode. Please refer to the Chart 1
on page 15 for details on setup. Once the battery
switch is turned to "OFF", the setting "Manual Mode"
is cancelled.
Here are some situations when manual mode is
desirable or useful:
1. Daylight synchronization (Flash is used outdoors to lighten shadows or when
the subject is photographed against a strong backlight)
2. When certain focal-length length lenses will be used, such as fisheye type.
3. When a motor drive or an auto-winder will be used.
4. When a number of flashes are used together.
Note: An arrow in the LCD display indicates that the maximum flash range of
105 ft. (32m) has been exceeded.

TTL Mode
Mount the PZ40X on the camera and push the mode-
selector button until the LCD panel displays TTL.
(When the battery switch is “ON”, the LCD panel
shows first setting [ADI]. When using a camera
without ADI Mode function, “ADI” is indicated first,
then lightly depressing camera’s shutter release ,
“TTL” will come out on the LCD display.) The PZ40X
now calculates exposure based on the camera's
selected aperture and film speed and displays the
effective TTL distance range. The display of the effective distance range does not
appear until you partly depress the camera's shutter release or the Ready Light
comes on. A bar graph shows the flash range display from 1.5 ft to 105 ft (0.5m to
32m). An asterisk will appear if this distance is exceeded.
