Insertingthe Batteries
Remove the Battery Compartment Cover @ and
insert 4 AA size batteries according to the diagram
inside. (Caution: Incorrect insertion of the bat-
teries will  prevent proper operation of the flash-
gun, and may causedamage.)
Close the Battery Compartment Cover.



Attaching Your Flashto the Camera
Loosen the Lock Ring @.  Insert the Mounting
 Foot @ of your  flash lnto the camera's accessory
shoe clip. Then tighten the flash with  the Lock
 Fing.
Set the shutter speed of your camera to the proper
setting for electronic flash use, or to 1/60 seconds.
(Read your camera owner's manual for details on
the flash synchronization.) lf you use the Nissin
Dedicated Adaptor  (Please refer on page 7  for
Optional Accessory) with your  flash, your dedi-
cated flash unit ensures that the camera sets the
correct shutter speed and gives viewfinder indica-
tion automatically.
 lf your camera has a hot shoe contact, your flash
 is now fully synchronizedwith the camera through
the centre contacts in the camera's shoe. ln this
case, the Synchro Cord is not necessary.
 lf the camera has not the hot shoe contact, use the
Synchro Cord @which comes with your ftash unit.

 lf your camera has TTL dedicated flash system, set
 AUTO/MANUAL Selector@ to MANUAL position
and TTL/O Mode Selector @ to TTL position and
then F. Stop Indicator@and DistanceRange lndi-
cator @ goes off, and you must use Nissin Dedi-
cated Adaptor (Pleaserefer on page 7 for optional
accessory). Read your camera owners manual for
details on  the  flash synchronization, such as                                              I

Auto Shut-Off
Your flash is designed to automatically shut off
the power supply to save the battery energy. Whenthe unit  is switched on, the F. Stop lndicator@                l,
and  Distance Range  Indicator   (i) come  on  to
indicate the start of charging. Afteisome  time, the
both indicators go off to indicate the power supply
has shut-off and the charging stopped, if the unit
is  left unoperated. The Ready Larrp @ stays on
until the charged energy runs out. You can fire
your unit as long as the Ready Lamp is on, and the
unit,  if fired, resets to the original state. A short
push of the On/Off switch (Reset Button) @ can
also charge the unit again. (lf neither the Ready
Lamp nor the F. Stop lndicator come on after theOn/Off  switch  is turned on, push the On/Off          I1
Switch to reset the flash unit.)

Bounce Photography
Use bounce flash when you desire to make a softer
effect and-to eliminate the shadow on your sub-
ject. When taking flash pictures indoors, bounce
the light off the white or reflective colored walls,
ceiling or reflective f lat surfaces.You can tilt the
Flash Head in horizontal direction by 160" to the
right and 180" ^to the  left as well as in vertical
direction by 90" upwards.  lt  is recommended to
operate your  flash in the automatic operation for
bounce flash. For bounce photography, it is very
important  to remember that the automatic flash
range should  refer the  total  distance of flash to
reflector to subject.

You  can enjoy  dual  flash  light  with  the Sub-
Reflector @.  StiOe the Sub-Reflector Switch @
to "1"  position. Both the flash lights from Main-
Reflector @ and Sub-Reflector will  give you a
variety of flash techniques as illustrated. lf you do
not  want  to  use the  Sub-Reflector,  slide  the
Sub-Reflector Switch  to  "0"  position. Use twin-
flash with Sub-Reflector switched on for bQunce
flash operation. Single flash with Sub-Reflector
switched off  is desirable when shooting directly
at your subject.

Note:  For Bounce Dual Flash Photography in
Automatic Operation.
As  the Subreflector gives always the same light
output, you shall determine the camera lens aper-
ture according to the Subreflector's guide number
(G. Lto. 12 ASA1OOl2lDlN). In order to get the
clear efficiency of shadow from bounce lighting
you can set the flash by one F-stop bigger.
Example:With ASA1 OO/21DlNfilm.

Hints for Maintenanceand Better Flash
Photography
The use of flash eliminates squinting and shadows
and help bring out  natural facial expressionson
the subject. When taking pictures, against highly
 reflective surfaces like  mirrors, glass or glittering
water, use automatic operation.
When not  in use, switch the  unit  off. Take the
 batteries out when the  f lash unit is being stored or                                                                                ij j
when it will be carried for a long time. Keep your                      1j
flash unit away from dust and moisture to prolong
 its life.
Do not try to open or repair your flash unit since
 the electric circuit inside carries a high voltage. lf
 your flash needs repair or does not work correctly,
 take  it  to where you bought  it from. opening
 the unit voids the warranty.
