5. Press the shutter button, after the flash is fully charged.
◆ When the camera receives the appropriate exposure, the TTL mark on the flash’s LCD panel will
appear for 5 seconds. If this indication does not appear, the flash illumination is not sufficient for that
situation. Please re-take the picture, at a closer distance.
◆ The AF Auxiliary Light will turn on automatically if you focus on a subject in a dark area. The effective
range of the AF Auxiliary Light is up to about 0.7meter to 9meter (2.3-29.5 feet).
◆ Please note that when the camera is set to M mode, the flash will be set to the mode settings last
used.
◆ When the flash is fully charged, the flash mark will appear in the camera viewfinder. If the shutter is
released before the flash is fully charged, the flash will not fire, and the camera will take the picture
at a slow shutter speed as if by ambient light only.
