This light can be used as AF auxiliary lighting under low light or as auxiliary lighting when a strobe light would be too strong to use. Focusing Lamps The unit has four focusing lamps to support focusing. When the LAMP button on the power supply section or on the back of the light emitting section is pressed (both buttons are shown in photo on right), the focusing lamps light for about 30 seconds, then turn off again. However, if the flash is emitted within 30 seconds, the focusing lamps automatically turn off immediately before firing. The focusing lamps can also be turned off by pressing the LAMP button again. The focusing lamps are designed for use under low light when the AF might have difficulty obtaining focus, but they can also be used to shoot pictures using their light alone. In the latter case, do not press the LAMP button but set the power switch to the "OP" position.
