Cobra 700AF - PENTAX AF CAMERAS

MANUAL TTL (M) MODE
Switch camera on and select manual (M) mode (refer to camera's
instruction book). Any combination of shutter speed (up to the maxi-
mum sync) and aperture may be selected. Refer to the scale (5) on the
rear of the gun to obtain maximum shooting distances.
SLOW-SHUTTER SYNC
50001, 70001, 80001, 2xi, SPxi, 5xi, 7xi, 9xi
Slow shutter sync is available on the above cameras. It allows you to
increase the background exposure for better background detail and
also creates a more natural lighting balance between the subject and
the background. Slow-shutter sync can be used in program (P) mode
with all the above cameras. For other modes consult your camera's
instruction book.
Select Program or desired mode available on your camera and switch
flash on. The above cameras will have either a SPOT button or an AEL
button located to the right of the viewfinder. When the flash has charged
a sync speed and aperture will be set by the camera. The pressing of
the SPOT/AEL button will cause the camera to set a slower speed (up
to slowest speed of particular model). Use a sturdy tripod with slower
speeds to avoid the danger of camera shake.
NOTE: The 700AF can be used in conjunction with certain Creative
Expansion Cards (available for some Dynax models). Simply mount the
flash and switch it on. The camera will select a shutter speed and
aperture according to the particular card being used. If in doubt refer to
your Minolta Dealer.
EXPOSURE CHECK
If the flash exposure is sufficient, the auto check indicator (9) will light
up briefly. If it fails to, check that you are within the maximum distance
by refering to the scale (5) on the rear of the gun. In aperture priority or
manual modes a larger aperture may be selected allowing more light to
strike the film.
