Flash Output
On/Off Power Switch (19) controls the on-and-off of the Flash Unit.
Turn off the Battery Pack if the Flash Unit will not be used for an
extended period.
Flash output can be varied from 1/128th to 1/1 full power in 1/3-stop
increments. To obtain a correct flash exposure, use a hand-held flash meter
to determine the required flash output.
Adjust the power output by rotating the Select Dial (21). The following table
makes it easier to see how the stop changes in terms of f/stop when you
increase or decrease the flash output:
1/1 1/1-0.3 1/1-0.7 1/2 1/2-0.3 1/2-0.7 1/4 … OF
1/2+0.7 1/2+0.3 1/4+0.7 1/4+0.3 …
Figures displayed when reducing flash output level >

When “OF” is displayed, it means the flash is turned off and there is no flash output.
Press Mode Selection Button (17) to enter M mode. In this mode, you
can set the flash unit onto your camera’s hot shoe or your trigger hot
shoe for firing. Before shooting, adjust the power output. When the
camera’s shutter is pressed, the flash will fire. Slave-triggering mode is
not available in M mode.
Press Mode Selection Button (17) to enter S1 mode. In this mode, the
flash unit can function as a slave flash for creating multiple-lighting
effects. It is respectively applicable to manual flash environment.
In S1 mode, the flash unit will fire synchronously when the master flash
fires, the same effect as that by the use of radio triggers.
