High Power Flash HF-DC1

This is an attachable supplementary flash. Photographic subjects that are too distant for the built-in flash to illuminate may be captured using the High-Power Flash. Affix the High-Power Flash to the camera using the bracket as shown below. Please also refer to the user's manual supplied with the flash.

The High-Power Flash will not fire in the following situations: -When shooting in M - When the Flash Adjust is set to [Manual] The flash charge time will lengthen as the battery charge gets weaker. Always set the power/mode switch to [OFF] when you finish using the flash. Be careful not to touch the flash window or sensor windows with your fingers while the flash is in use. In outdoor settings in the daylight, the flash may not detect illumination from the camera's built-in flash and may not fire. The flash may fire if another flash is being used in close proximity. The flash may not fire if there are no reflective items in its metering field. For continuous shooting, although the flash fires for the first shot, it does not fire for subsequent shots. If the battery usage time has considerably diminished, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth as the terminals may be soiled with oil from one's skin or other dirt. If the battery is used in cold regions (0oC/32oF or lower), you are recommended to carry a spare lithium battery (CR123A or DL123). Keep the spare battery warm in your pocket until immediately before using it, and exchange it frequently with the battery in the flash. Remove the battery from the flash and store it in a dry and cool location if you will not use it for extended periods. Leaving it in the flash could lead to the battery leaking and damaging the flash. Fasten the attachment screws securely so that they do not loosen. Failure to do so may lead to the dropping of the camera and flash resulting in damage to .

Before affixing the bracket to the flash, check that the lithium battery (CR123A or DL123) is installed. To illuminate the subjects properly, install the flash so that it is up against the side of the camera and parallel with the camera's front panel. A tripod can be used even when the flash is attached.
