[. . . ] Set the F number on the camera in accordance with ISO sensitivity in use. As long as the subjects are within the auto-effective distance, the flash automatically adjusts the amount of light. Determine the positions of the flash at the camera side and DMW-FL28 for slave. Direct the slave photoreceptor of the slave unit so that it can receive either direct or reflected light from the flash at the camera side. When pressing the test flash button on the flash at the camera side, it lights. The flash triggers the slave (this unit) causing it to flash almost simultaneously. If the slave (this unit) does not light, check the facing direction of the slave and the operating distance. In accordance with the recording condition, set the rotary switch B to GN 28, GN 14 or GN 7. DMW-FL28 (this unit) may slaveflash in response to the AF auxiliary light or preparatory lighting.

Operating distance The operating distance is the maximum distance between the flash at the camera side and the slave (this unit) when the flash and the photoreceptor of the slave face each other. The standard operating distance is 10 m approximately when the Guide Number of the flash at the camera is more than GN 10. °Indoor or night time at the ambient temperature 20 oC • The operating distance becomes shorter to a greater degree with the center of the photoreceptor of the slave being deflected more from the flashtube of the flash at the camera side. • The operating distance becomes shorter outdoors (daytime) as the sensitivity of the slave is degraded. 17 DMW-FL28E. book 18 ページ ２００７年３月６日　火曜日　午前１０時２１分 Close-up recording 1.
