• When you activate the flash, there should

be no opaque material directly in front of or
on the reflector cover (flash window). The
intense energy emissions can otherwise
lead to scorching or spotting of the material
and/or the reflector cover!

• After a series of flashes with full power

and short intervals, a pause of at least
3 minutes must be observed after each
series of 20 flashes!

• When taking a series of flash shots at full

light output and with rapid recycling times,
and with zoom positions of 35 mm and
less, the diffuser heats up, due to the high
level of thermal energy!

• This flash unit may be used in combination

with a camera-integrated flash only if the
flash can be folded out completely!
