Power Management
Use ON/OFF Power Switch to power the flash unit on or off. Turn off if it will not be used for an
extended period of time. Setting as a transmitter flash, it will turn the power off automatically after a
certain period (approx. 90 seconds) of idle use. Pressing the camera shutter halfway or pressing any
flash button will wake up the flash unit. Setting as a receiver flash, it will enter sleep mode after a
certain period (adjustable , 60 minutes by default) of idle use. Pressing any flash button will wake it up.
Disabling Auto Power Off function is recommended when the flash is used off camera
(C.Fn-STBY)
Receiver Auto Power Off Timer is set to 60 minutes by default. Another option "30
minutes" is available (C.Fn-RX STBY).
FLASH MODE-TTL Autoflash
This flash has three flash modes: TTL, Manual (M), and Multi (Stroboscopic). In TTL mode, the
camera and the flash will work together to calculate the correct exposure for the subject and the
background. In this mode, multiple TTL functions are available: FEC, HSS, second curtain sync,
modeling flash, control with the camera's menu screen.
Press <MODE> Mode Selection Button and three flash modes will display on the LCD panel one by
one with each pressing.
TTL Mode

•Press the camera release button halfway to focus. The aperture and effective flash range
will be displayed in the viewfinder.
•When the shutter button is fully pressed, the flash will fire a pre-flash that the camera will
use to calculate exposure and flash output the instant before the photo is taken.
FEC: Flash Exposure Compensation
With FEC function, this flash can adjust from -3 to +3 in 1/3rd stops. It is useful in situations where
minor adjusting of the TTL system is needed based on the environment.
1. Press the (+/-> button. The icon and flash exposure
compensation amount will be highligted on the LCD panel.
2. Set the flash exposure compensation amount.
Turn the Select Dial to set the amount.
"0.3" means 1/3 step, "0.7" means 2/3 step.
To cancel the flash exposure compensation, set the
amount to "+0".
3. Press Set Button again to confirm the setting.
High-Speed Sync
High Speed Sync (FP flash) enables the the flash to synchronize with all camera shutter speeds. This
is convenient when you want to use aperture priority fo fill-flash portraits.
Setting the flash to High-speed Sync mode when it is on the camera:
Press the button to turn on high-speed sync flash and < > is displayed. Then, adjust the camera’s
shutter to achieve high-speed sync flash.
●With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the shorter the effective
flash range.
●Multi flash mode cannot be set in high-speed sync mode.
●Over-temperature protection may be activated after 15 consecutive high-
speed sync flashes
●Try not to use high-speed sync flash, for using this function will reduce flash
tube’s service life.
Note: In the wireless remote control mode, using high-speed sync flash with
Panasonic camera may occur out of sync.
Second-Curtain Sync
With a slow shutter speed, you can create a light train following the subject. The flash fires right before
the shutter closes.
Setting second-curtain sync:
Second-curtain sync function shall be set on the camera’s menu. More details please refer to camera’s
instruction menu.
M: Manual Flash
The flash output is adjustable from 1/1 full power to 1/256th power in 1/10th stop increments. To obtain
a correct flash exposure, use a hand-held flash meter to determine the required flash output.
1. Press <MODE> button so that <M> is displayed.
2. Turn the Select Dial to choose a desired flash
output amount.
3. Press Set Button again to confirm the setting.
Optic S1 Secondary Unit Setting
In M manual flash mode, press <S1/S2> button so that this flash can function as an optic S1
secondary flash with optic sensor. With this function, the flash will fire synchronously when the main
flash fires, the same effect as that by the use of radio triggers. This helps create multiple lighting
effects.
Optic S2 Secondary Unit Setting
Press <S1/S2> button so that this flash can also function as an optic S2 secondary flash with optic
sensor in M manual flash mode. This is useful when cameras have pre-flash function. With this
function, the flash will ignore a single "preflash" from the main flash and will only fire in response to the
second; actual flash from the main unit.
•S1 and S2 optic triggering is only available in M manual flash mode.
Multi: Stroboscopic Flash
With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture a multiple images of
a moving subject in a single photograph.
You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec. Expressed as Hz), the number of flashes
and the flash output.
1. Press <MODE> button so that < > is
displayed.
2. Set the flash frequency and flash times:
•Press the Function Button 2
<Times> to select the flash times.
Turn the Select Dial to set the
number.
•Press the Function Button 3 (Hz>
to select the flash frequency. Turn
the Select Dial to set the number.
3. Turn the Select Dial to choose a desired flash
output. After you finish the setting, press Set
Button and all the settings will be displayed.
Calculating the Shutter Speed.
During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing stops. Use the formula below to
calculate the shutter speed and set it with the camera:
Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed
For example; if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5Hz, the shutter speed should
be at least 2 seconds.
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use stroboskopic flash more
than 10 times in succession. After 10 times, allow the camera flash to rest for at least 15
minutes. If You try to Use the Stroboskopic flash more than 10 times in succession, the firing
might stop automatically to protect the flash head. If this happens, allow at least 15 minutes
rest for the camera flash.
•Stroboskopic flash is most efective with a highly reflective subject against a
dark background.
•Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.
•A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash.
•Stroboscopic flash can be used with "buLb".
•If the number of flashes is displayed as "-", the firing will continue until the
shitter closes or the battery is exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited
as shown by the following table.
Maximum stroboscopic flashes:
