Caution

When using an external power pack, you may take continuous frames of

multi-exposure pictures. To enjoy the extreme feature without overheating

problem, it is suggested to take an interval of 3 seconds between shots

and maybe longer time after 200 shots.

Flash source may be heated up and may cause serious damage to the

flash unit if it is overly operated.

Please note that the basic operation is however controlled by the main

batteries(battery magazine) in the flash unit and when the main batteries

are exhausted, flash control system does not work. Replace the batteries

when recycle time becomes longer than 20 seconds by main batteries only.

Remote flash (Slave flash)

1.The slave flash does not shoot its light directly into the camera lens.

2.The wireless flash sensor of the slave flash is not blocked.

3.The slave flash is usually not placed behind the master flash.

4.In the daylight synchronization, the sensor of slave flash could be

saturated by sunlight and its response will be extremely reduced. In this

case, the wireless TTL function may not result in success. Making a shade

to cover the sensor of slave flash is one of the ideas to help the situation.

Where is the Slave flash sensor?

Slave flash sensor is provided behind the front panel of MG8000 at the

name of Nissin DIGITAL. The sensor’s sensing angle to respond to the

incoming light is about 100 degree.

Place the slave flash in consideration to;
