Set the zoom position to suit the subject and
place the flash unit at the desired location.
●
When setting up a flash unit separately from the
camera, use the off-camera shoe adapter F when
using a tripod, or the off-camera shoe clip CL-10
when setting up in another location such as
tabletop, chair, etc.
Turn the flash unit on the camera on.
●
If the camera's built-in flash unit is part of the
combination, pop up the built-in flash unit.
Check that the ready lamp is lit, then take the
picture.
●
When the built-in flash or the external flash
attached to the camera is fully charged, the flash
icon ( )) will light up in the viewfinder and when
the AF540FGZ is fully charged, the ready lamp
on the AF540FGZ will blink.
●
Position the slave unit(s) so that the slave
sensor can receive the flash fired by the
camera’s built-in flash unit or attached flash unit.
●
The AF540FGZ will fire at the same time that the
camera’s flash fires.
●
Keep the distance from the built-in flash unit and
AF540FGZ to the subject within 4 meters.
●
The slave unit will turn off automatically after
about 1 hour of non-operation when the auto
power off function is set.
●
Do not use red-eye reduction with the camera’s
flash. This will result in the AF540FGZ firing by
the pre-flash. For the same reason, set the
camera to manual focus when firing the flash
continuously so that the AF spotbeam does not
operate with cameras that have AF spotbeam
functions.
