Operating Your Flash and Running a Test Flash
Slide the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. After a few seconds
the Test/Ready lamp should illuminate, indicating that the flash is
ready to use. Press the Test/Ready button to make sure that your
flash works properly. If the flash discharges, it should be working
properly. Wait until the Ready lamp glows again to use once more.
Adjust your camera to the appropriate setting. Most cameras should
be set to the program position (see your camera's manual for details
on flash synchronization.) When the flash is ready to fire, it will
automatically match the camera's shutter speed. The flash readiness
indicator will appear on the camera. Different camera models indicate
flash readiness in different ways (see your camera's manual).
Point the digital camera at the subject and focus. Press the shutter
button on the digital camera half way down to check the image. Then
press the shutter button all the way down firmly. The Auto OK
indicator will light when the picture is exposed correctly.
