English Before operating the product, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference. WB Using this unit This unit can be used by attaching it to the flash with sync cord using the following operations. This unit is designed for use with flash units having a voltage of 60 V or less. The sync terminal is compatible with both center positive (normal polarity) and center negative (positive polarity) flash units. When using the flash with this unit, set the camera as following. Set the exposure mode to M mode. Set the shutter speed equal to whichever is slower: 1/125 second or a recommended preset level, or to a slower speed. When using the custom white balance, set the shutter speed and aperture to the required exposure and use a gray card for calibration. If you use a white card, the light level will exceed the measurable light level. "Custom WB error" will appear on the LCD screen of the camera. If this message appears, it means that there is unexpected value (when flashing close to the object or exposing to a colorful object). It is recommended that you set the white balance again to get a more correct white balance value. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the digital single lens reflex camera. Flash metering correction is unavailable. 3-216-608-02 (1) Sync Terminal Adaptor Adaptateur de borne de synchronisation Operating Instructions Mode d'emploi Manual de instrucciones WARNING To reduce fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

M 1/125 108-0075 1-7-1 Français Avant de faire fonctionner ce produit, lisez attentivement ce mode d'emploi et conservez-le pour toute référence ultérieure. Si le témoin BATTERY CHECK se met à clignoter, la pile n'est plus suffisamment chargée. Il est alors conseillé de la remplacer. Si le témoin BATTERY CHECK ne s'allume pas ou ne clignote pas, la pile doit être remplacée. AVERTISSEMENT Afin de réduire les risques d'incendie ou de décharge électrique, n'exposez pas cet appareil à la pluie ou à l' humidité. Lorsque la pile au lithium s'affaiblit, remplacez-la par une pile au lithium Sony CR1220. L'utilisation d'une autre pile peut entraîner un risque d'incendie ou d'explosion. Toute manipulation incorrecte de la pile pose un risque d' explosion. Ne pas recharger la pile, ne pas la démonter et ne pas la jeter au feu. Utilisation de cet accessoire Cet accessoire peut être utilisé en le raccordant au flash à l'aide du cordon de synchronisation, en procédant de la manière décrite ci-dessous. Cet accessoire est conçu pour les flashes d'une tension égale ou inférieure à 60 V. La borne de synchronisation est compatible tant avec les flashes à centre positif (polarité normale) qu'avec les flashes à centre négatif (polarité positive). Lorsque vous utilisez le flash avec cet accessoire, réglez l' appareil photo de la manière suivante. Réglez le mode d'exposition sur le mode M. Réglez la vitesse d'obturation sur le niveau le plus lent : 1/125 seconde ou un niveau prédéfini recommandé, ou encore une vitesse inférieure. Lorsque vous utilisez la balance des blancs personnalisée, réglez la vitesse d'obturation et d'ouverture en fonction de l'exposition requise et utilisez une carte grise pour l' étalonnage. Si vous utilisez une carte blanche, le niveau de lumière dépassera le niveau de lumière mesurable. « Balance perso. impossible » apparaît sur l'écran LCD de l'appareil photo. Ce message indique une valeur inattendue (en cas de prise de vue au flash à proximité du sujet ou en cas d'exposition à un objet riche en couleurs). Il est alors conseillé de recommencer le réglage de la balance des blancs pour obtenir une valeur plus correcte. Pour plus d'informations, reportez-vous au mode d'emploi de l'appareil photo reflex numérique mono objectif. Il n'est pas possible de corriger la mesure du flash.
