Getting
Acquainted With Your 285HV
Flash Unit
The purpose of this
Owners Manual is to
familiarize you with
your
flash and give you the
basics for taking
flash
pictures.
After
reading it, we suggest you
experiment
with the
unit's
various
features
by
shooting
a
roll of
film. This will
help
you to
use
your flash
more effectively.
Once
youve used your
flash for
a
while, you may want more
in-depth
information on flash
lighting techniques. There
is
a
wealth of information
currently
available, and
we suggest you
check
with your local photo
dealer, bookstore or
library for
books on
specific techniques.
Power
Sources
Your
Vivitar Model 285HV
offers
you
the flexibility of
working
with
several power sources. It
operates on
four
1.5
volt
size
AA
alkaline
batteries as a standard
power source, If you'll be
using
your flash
frequently, you may want to
consider any of three
other
optional
power sources:
1)
Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries (N/Cads)
- In
addition to
being rechargeable,
NiCads also
provide
a
faster recycling
time.
Ask your dealer about the
Vivitar NC-3 NiCad
Battery
Pack
and the Charge
12/20
unit for fast 20-minute
recharges
