Q & A
QCan I take pictures using other external flashes together with this flash?
ANo. The best you can do is dual flash photography with this flash and
the camera's built-in flash.
QWhen is the auto check feature (TEST button) useful?
AWhen using bounced lighting or a flash converter. Pressing the TEST
button checks whether illumination is sufficient enough for the shot
before the picture is taken. The AUTO CHECK lamp will blink if
everything is OK. But, it can be used only in the regular AUTO mode.
QWhy does the CHARGED lamp not light up?
AThe batteries are probably run down, which is making it harder to charge
the flash. Before the flash can be fully charged, its sleep mode is
triggered. So, change the batteries. But, remember to turn power OFF
before trying to change them.
QWhat happens when I use the built-in flash together with this flash?
ABoth flashes fire at the same time. Exposure is automatically based on
the total amount of illumination (camera shooting mode P or A). One
advantage is that you can use this flash to bounce light off a wall or
something, while the camera's built-in flash to catch the subject's pupils.
QDoes the flash get hot after continued flashes?
AActually, the batteries get hot if the flash is continuously fired
immediately after the CHARGED lamp lights up. You should allow
sufficient time for the batteries to cool down between flashes.
and Aperture
QCan I use the FL-40 with my Olypmus IS/L Series 35mm film camera?
ANo, it cannot be used.
QWhy can't I mount the flash on the camera?
AWhen the lock pin protrude, it is not possible. Turn the mounting foot in
the opposite direction of "<- LOCK" until it can turn no more. Then
mount the flash on the camera.
QWhy doesn't the control mode switch, even though I pressed the mode
button?
ADepending on the type of camera, it may be impossible to select a
control mode with the flash itself. Select the control mode of the flash
with the camera.
QHow should I set the white balance of the camera, when taking flash-lit
pictures?
AOperating in the AUTO mode is recommended. When using the manual
white balance, set the color temperature to 6500 K. Depending on the
operating condition, the color temperature varies.
