Optional accessories
Power grip
Flash Power Grip FP-1
(The RG-1 remote grip cable and FL-CB01 or FL-CB02 flash bracket
cable (depending on the digital camera used) are required.)
This accessory allows the electronic
flash to be used as a grip-on type flash
powered from four C (R14) alkaline
batteries.
Using these batteries together with
the electronic flash batteries makes it
possible to charge the flash at a higher
speed and increase the available flash
emission count.
External power supply
Flash High Voltage Set SHV-1
(High Voltage Pack HV-1, NiMH Battery Pack BN-1 and AC Adapter AC-2)
The NiMH battery pack BN-1
incorporated in this accessory makes it
possible to charge the flash at a higher
speed and increase the available flash
emission count.

Notes
Up to 10 successive full flashes are permitted. To allow the light-emitting
area to cool, the electronic flash should not be used for at least 10 minutes
after 10 flashes have been fired. For details, refer to “Limit counts of
continuous firings” (gP. 48).
