It is impossible to describe all camera types
and their individual dedicated flash func-
tions within the scope of these instructions.

Therefore, please refer to the flash mode
description in your camera’s operating
instructions to find out which functions are
supported and which ones have to be set
manually on the camera.

Using lenses not equipped with a CPU (i.e.,
lenses without auto focus mode), results in
certain functional limitations!

3 Preparing the flash unit for use

3.1 Mounting the flash unit

Mounting the flash unit on the camera

Turn off the camera and flash before
mounting or removing.
• Turn the knurled nut

ቮ towards the flash

unit housing as far as it will go. The locking
pin in the adapter shoe is now fully retrac-
ted into the case.

• Slide the flash unit foot completely into the

camera accessory shoe.

• Turn the knurled nut

ቮ towards the camera

housing as far as it will go, clamping the
flash unit in place. If the camera does not
have a locking hole, the spring-loaded lok-
king pin retracts into the adapter case so as
not to damage the surface.

Removing the flash unit from the camera

Turn off the camera and flash before
mounting or dismounting.

• Turn the knurled nut

ቮ towards the flash

unit housing as far as it will go.
