1. Precautions During Use • The flash unit is a precision instrument. Be careful not to bump or drop it. • Avoid exposure to extremely high or low temperatures or to humidity. Especially, do not leave the flash in the car. • Do not use a thinner, benzene or other cleaning agents to remove dirt or fingerprints from the unit. Clean with a soft, moistened cloth. • When the flash unity is brought from a cold exterior into a warm interior, condensation can occur on the inside of the flash unit and cause damage. In such a case, do not see the flash unit until it has reached room temperature. • For extended storage, choose a cool dry place, preferably with good ventilation. Never store the flash in a drawer or cupboard containing naphthalene or camphor (mothballs) as these will have negative effects on the flash unit. Note: We are constantly upgrading the program of our flash unit to meet the new demand in the market. As such, some of the new changes made to the specifications may not be updated in this manual.

3. When set at 0º, a sign (23)will show on LCD panel. When bounce up, the sign changes to (23) and the ft/m distance scale will disappear. • Please note that the effectiveness of the bounce flash feature is dependent upon distance and the condition of the reflecting surface used. The angle of the flash must also be set properly to achieve the best possible lighting effect. Normally, when the flash in bounced against a surface, it will usually lose 2-3 apertures of light (f-stops), even when the surface is white. • As exposure is bounce lighting is a factor based upon distance, first from the flash to the reflected surface, then to the subject and finally back to the camera, the relationship between the aperture setting used and the adjustable distance range changes accordingly, depending upon the distances involved and quality of the reflective surface selected. • The use of a white surface as much as possible for bounce lighting effects, will result in the best overall reflective light level. Take note that in color photography, when a colored surface is used for bounce lighting, it will reflect its color on the subject. PZ 46 ETTL PZ 46 ETTL Daylight Synchronization Even when you take a picture in a bright place, and the subject is strongly backlit, or if a strong shadow appears in an unsuitable position, use the flash to obtain correct exposure for both the subject and the background. When you can use any camera fill flash mode, you can easily obtain Daylight Synchronization. Slow Synchronization When you use a flash to photograph a person in a dark place, the background will become very dark, because the flashlight will not reach. By using a slow shutter speed to take a flash photography, you can obtain the appropriate exposure for the person and the background.

6. MULTI Eval. TTL M PZ 46 ETTL PZ 46 ETTL Distance Display Eval. TTL Auto Flash Operation The built-in micro-controller calculates and displays the distance coverage range at ‘Eval.TTL’, ‘M’ or ‘MULTI’ mode setting. The guide number is dependent on the zoom setting (85/50/35/28/24mm), different apertures setting and the film speed (from ISO 25-1000) that is automatically set from the DX code or manually set the camera. Example:- The flash unit provides automatic Evaluative (TTL) control of the flash exposure when used with the mating cameras which have E-TTL auto flash metering feature. The Eval. TTL autoflash mode balances the exposure between the main subject illuminated by the flash and the background in ambient light, whenever possible. Thus, this Eval. TTL mode can be used under conditions ranging from darkness to fill-in flash. • Set the ISO 100 on the camera (through DX or manually) and zoom lens at 50mm position. • From the distance F/Stop setting (LCD panel), it will indicate the different range distance in ft & meter. • Example :- • F5.6 max. range is approx. 7.0m, 22ft. • F8 max. range is approx. 5.0m, 16ft • F11 max. range is approx. 3.0m, 11ft. • Remark: An arrow in the LCD Coverage Range (11) indicates that the max flash range (18m/60ft) has been exceeded. a. Program Eval. TTL Autoflash Mode • Set the camera’s shooting mode to full auto program mode and the flash unit’s mode to ‘Eval. TTL’ • Press the shutter button halfway to focus the subject. • When the flash-ready indicator (17) lights, the camera will automatically set the aperture and shutter speed values, the aperture value will also show on the flash unit. b. Shutter-Priority Eval. TTL Autoflash Mode • Set the camera’s shooting mode to shutter-priority mode and the flash unit’s mode to ‘Eval. TTL’ • Set a desired shutter speed. If a shutter speed faster than X-sync time is selected, the camera will automatically switch to the X-sync time when the flash is ready. You can select slower shutter speeds. • Press the shutter button halfway to focus the subject and confirm that the distance from the camera to the subject is within the autoflash range displayed in the LCD panel. AF Illuminator for Autofocusing • When subject contrast is low or in low light, the AF illuminator (3) is automatically activated when the camera’s shutter release button is pressed halfway. This illuminator enables the camera’s autofocus system to focus correctly. • The AF illuminator (3) enables autofocusing with subjects up to about 6m away. • This working range of the AF illuminator is based on standard testing method with a 50mm lens. • The AF illuminator will not be effective if your subject has very low reflectance. c. Aperture-Priority Eval. TTL Autoflash Mode • Set the camera’s shooting mode to Aperture-Priority mode and the flash unit’s mode to ‘Eval. TTL’ • Set a desired aperture value. This enables you to have greater control over depth of field. • Press the shutter button, halfway to focus the subject and confirm that the distance from the camera to the subject is within the autoflash range displayed in the LCD panel. • When the flash-ready indicator lights, the camera will automatically sets the shutter speed. Auto Check (OK) Indicator When using the flash unit in Eval.TTL Autoflash mode, if exposure was sufficient, the auto check indicator ‘OK’ (24) will appear in the LCD panel at the same moment when the camera’s shutter button is pressed. Flash Mode d. Manual Eval. TTL Autoflash Mode This unit has three firing modes: Eval.TTL, M, MULTI. You can select the desired mode by pressing the ‘MODE’ button (20). Each press of the Mode button changes the flash mode in the following cycle: For back-lit subjects. Or in low light situations, slower speed can be set to increase the background exposure while maintaining normal exposure of the main subject. This is helpful for filling in shadows and balancing out the lighting situation. • Set the camera’s mode to manual mode and set the flash unit’s mode to ‘Eval.TTL’. • Set the camera’s shutter speed and the desired aperture manually. • If a shutter speed faster than X-sync time is selected, the camera will automatically switch to the X-sync time when the flash is ready. You can select slower shutter speeds. • 3. Press the shutter button halfway to focus the subject and confirm that the distance from the camera to the subject is within the autoflash range displayed in the LCD panel. • As different models of camera operate differently for flash photography, you should read the Instruction Manual of your camera for details of flash operation.
