Your Sunpak G-FLASH　 is a flash unit designed exclusively for use with a Canon (CA/E-TTLII), Nikon (NE/I-TTL) or Sony (SO/ADI) digital SLR camera. Please read this owner's manual carefully so that you can use this unit correctly. Features and Functions of the Sunpak G-FLASH　 When this unit is installed on a camera and switched on, the unit automatically adjusts brightness on the E-TTL II (Canon), I-TTL (Nikon) or ADI (Sony) operation to enable accurate, optimum firing. The adjustment with the ED ADJUST button is invalid when no EV adjustment indicator is lit (i. e. Make sure that one of the EV adjustment indicators is lit before pressing the EV ADJUST button. To exit from the EV adjustment mode, press the EV ADJUST button again. Alternatively, the EV adjustment mode can also be exited by pressing the POWER switch to OFF then ON again. If the Picture is Too Bright or Too Dark The G-FLASH　 has an EV ADJUST button for fine adjustment of the brightness level. Use this button to adjust the brightness to obtain a satisfactory effect in the following cases. When satisfactory brightness cannot be obtained during daylight sync flashing (in outdoor shooting under sunlight, the strobe light can be used as an auxiliary light source to minimize shadows on the subject formed by the sun) or shooting against light. First, shoot a picture in standard auto mode (when the EV adjustment indicator is lit) and check it on the monitor. If you find that the brightness is too high or low, press the EV ADJUST button to fine adjust the brightness and take another picture. If the picture is darker than expected, press the EV ADJUST button once to increase the EV by one step so that the red "+0. 5" EV adjustment indicator lights up. In this condition, the unit emits light by increasing the brightness by +0. 5 EV. After shooting, check the picture on the monitor Bounce Lighting The light-emitting section of the G-FLASH　 can be pointed upward for bounce lighting. [. . . ] However, note that the brightness may drop to about 25%, though this is variable depending on the color and material of the reflecting surface. It is therefore recommended to open up the aperture (to decrease the f-number as much as possible). The surface used for bounce lighting should be as white as possible and its reflectivity as high as possible. Note that, in color photography, if the reflecting surface has a color, the colored reflection will stain the subject in that color.
