4 B) Abut prduct Digitalis Pr T400 TTL is a universal lighting system with a cmpact DC battery and pwer supply. TTL technlgy supprts the ideal expsure value anywhere. The great advantage f this flash is the builtin wireless system. The ptimized user interface, visible, clr LCD display and verall flash design supprt very easy peratin. Operating instructins: Pwer switch press and hld pwer switch t turn n/ff the flash. T reduce battery pwer use, the flash is designed t g int Sleep mde after 30 minutes f nn-activity and t turn ff autmatically after 40 minutes f nn-activity. Cntrl flash with HSS TTL wireless cntrller (anther fr Nikn and anther fr Cann) Fix the HSS TTL cntrller t ht-she and turn n the camera and the cntrller. On the camera press and hld RPT-Hz and Mde buttn simultaneusly fr 3 secnds t select the camera (Nikn/Cann). Make sure the camera is prperly cnnected. TTL Mde Set camera scene mdes t <AV> (aperture pririty), <Tv> (shutter pririty) r <M> (manual) mde t wrk in TTL mde. M mde Set the selectin mde t M n the HSS TTL cntrller and adjust the accurate pwer n the flash. Channel setting Press the CH buttn n the flash until the numeral digit starts blinking. Press the cntrl buttn (with the arrw symbl) t set the channels frm 1 t 80. Or press the CH buttn n the HSS TTL cntrller. Press the cntrl buttn (+/-) n the cntrller t set the channel.

5 Grup setting In ne grup, there may be up t 4 flashes that can be cntrlled at the same time. Press the GR buttn t assign up t 4 flashes t a grup (A, B, C r D). Or press the A, B, C r D buttn n the HSS TTL cntrller fr wireless settings. Cntrlling 2 flashes Flash n.1 Ch 01, GR A Flash n.2 Ch 01, GR B Cntrlling 3 flashes Flash n.1 Ch 01, GR A Flash n.2 Ch 01, GR B Flash n.3 Ch 01, GR C Cntrlling 4 flashes Flash n.1 Ch 01, GR A Flash n.2 Ch 01, GR B Flash n.3 Ch 01, GR C Flash n.4 Ch 01, GR D Cntrlling 4 flashes in 1, 2 grups Flash n.1 Ch 01, GR A Flash n.2 Ch 01, GR B Flash n.3 Ch 02, GR A Flash n.4 Ch 02, GR B TTL settings Press the M buttn n the HSS TTL cntrller t switch between TTL r M mde. In TTL mde, when the shutter n the camera f which the HSS TTL cntrller is munted t is pressed expsure is autmatically cntrlled. Flash expsure cmpensatin When shting under TTL aut flash mde under varius envirnments, it may demand a minr adjusting expsure value. After checking yu phtgraph fr under and verexpsure, press the +/- buttns n the HSS TTL cntrller t adjust expsure cmpensatin with an increment f 0.1 F-Stps. In case f an underexpsed phtgraph, press the + buttn n the HSS TTL cntrller t increase expsure cmpensatin up t a maximum f +0,3; 30 steps.

6 In case f an verexpsed phtgraph, press the - buttn n the HSS TTL cntrller t decrease energy level dwn t a minimum f -0,3; 30 steps. Manual mde Flash utput is adjustable frm 1/128 t 1/1 full pwer with an increment d 0.1 F- Stps. After expsure cmpensatin in TTL mde, switch t the M mde t keep phtgraphing under determined flash utput. After setting up the M mde by pressing the M buttn n the HSS TTL cntrller, set the flash utput by pressing the +/- buttns n the HSS TTL cntrller frm 1/1 full pwer t the lwest utput f 1/128 with an increment f 0.1 F-Stps and a ttal f 70 steps.

7 HSS flash mde Press the Hz buttn n the HSS TTL cntrller t turn n the TTL HSS mde (Cann). This symbl is displayed n the HSS TTL cntrller s display and flash s display. Optical slave S1/S2 Press the CELL buttn n the flash t change slave flashing methd. S1 when a regular flash fires, slaves detect flash and fires simultaneusly. S2 when a TTL flash fires, slaves detect flash and fires simultaneusly. Applicable nly in M mde. Nastavení zvuků Press the SOUND buttn n the flash t turn n/ff the sund.

8 LED mdeling settings Press the buttn with symbl f a bulb n the HSS TTL cntrller t switch between 3 LED mdeling light mdes. Flash sft light mde: the mdeling lamp utput changes in accrdance t the utput f the flash. Mdeling maximum utput mde: the LED mdeling is set at maximum utput capacity. LED assist light mde: when the ambient light level is lw, press the camera shutter buttn halfway t emit the assist beam t autfcus. Multi strbscpic flash Press and hld the T buttn n the HSS TTL cntrller fr 2 secnds r lnger fr multi-flash settings. Under the multi-flash mde, multiple flashes are fired cntinuusly at a high speed. The flash utput is manipulated by the number f flashes and flash frequency. T set the number f flashes, press the T buttn n the HSS TTL cntrller until the display starts blinking. Set yur preferred number f flashes using the +/- buttns. T set the flash frequency, press the Hz buttn n the HSS TTL cntrller until the display starts blinking. Set yur preferred frequency using the +/- buttns. Number f flashes Flash frequency

9 Calculating shutter speed When utilizing multi-flash, camera shutter shuld be pened until flash stps. Please refer t the table belw t calculate shutter speed. Number f flashes/ flash frequency T prevent flash frm verheating and disrder, refrain frm firing flash n mre than 10 times in multi-flash mde. After firing in successin, flash shuld be left unused fr at least 5 minutes. Reset settings T reset the flash, press the MODE buttn n the flash fr 2 secnds r lnger. All settings fr grup, channel, expsure cmpensatin, sync and flash utput are reset. Battery (11,1V; 4,4A) Press the buttn n. 13 (battery status indicatr buttn) t determine battery charging status n the LCD display. T charge the battery, use nly the adapter included in the package. The LED light is red when charging. The LED light is green when battery is fully charged.

10 Characteristics and usage f battery Charge battery with charger that cmes with the package befre use. One full charge takes apprximately 3,5 hurs, prviding up t 400 flashes at maximum utput. Battery life depends n usage frequency. In the beginning, the capacity f the battery can be increased, then gradually reduced. A fully charged battery may nt be used fr up t 6 mnths. Keeping the battery dwn fr a lng time may affect its perfrmance. T maintain ptimal battery perfrmance, charge the battery within 3 mnths after use. The battery life cycle is apprximately 300 cycles. A drastic drp in flash brightness suggests a change f battery is needed. The ambient temperature als affects the battery. Pay clse attentin t the high temperature differences that may have a negative effect n the battery. A large drp in battery capacity may ccur when the temperature drps belw 10 C when the battery can drain quickly. Avid using the battery at 0 C. The battery shuld nt be used even at temperatures abve 45 C. If the battery is verheated it may reduce its service life and its built-in prtectin system may limit its use. If the verheating indicatr beeps, cl the battery. Althugh the battery is discharged by use and can n lnger be used, the battery retains sme capacity t prtect its system. This small amunt f capacity is maintained fr 3-6 mnths. Over time it is depleted, which leads t degradatin f the battery. T avid this, charge the battery as sn as the battery is discharged. Charger and battery shelf life Befre charging the battery, turn ff the flash first. If yu leave the flash turned n while the battery is charging, the charging time is prlnged and energy is cnsumed. Battery charging time is apprximately 3,5 hurs. Battery life increases with frequent charging, even if the battery is nt cmpletely discharged. The battery shuld be charged at a temperature f 10 C t 40 C. Charging the battery utside this range may cause the prtectin system t blck charging r t display the battery as fully charged. If pssible, charge the battery at rm temperature. Fr quick charging, turn ff the flash r remve the battery and charge it directly. Battery charging time depends n battery temperature, adapter pwer (AC 220V), and battery age. If the red dide des nt appear during charging, make sure the charger is cnnected t an electrical utlet and there is a pwer supply. If the charger malfunctins, cntact a service.
