Slide the tab on the umbrella handle over the tab to open the umbrella. Umbrella mounting knob Notes: • The black and silver umbrella diffuses, broadens, and evenly distributes the light from the flash. Point the silver interior of the umbrella at the subject and the flash at the interior of the umbrella. The flash light bounces back on the subject. The black exterior of the umbrella keeps light from escaping. • The transparent umbrella softens the light from the flash. Point the exterior of the umbrella at the subject and the flash at the interior of the umbrella. As the light from the flash passes through the umbrella, the light is softened. The transparent umbrella is good for shooting close-up pictures and outdoor pictures in bright sunlight. 6 Optional: Insert one end of a PC sync cable into the PC sync cable jack on the slave flash, then plug the other end of the cable into the your camera's PC flash sync jack. Note: If you camera does not have a PC flash sync jack, you can purchase a hotshoe adapter that lets you connect a PC sync cable. Notes: • Your slave flash automatically fires when it detects the flash from a camera. Some cameras have a pre-flash feature that fires a test flash before firing the main flash. The pre-flash adjusts camera settings to suit the lighting environment. Your slave flash may fire when it detects the pre-flash. For accurate flash timing, set your camera's flash mode to manual (instead of auto or TTL), and adjust the flash's power level so it is just enough to fire the slave flash. You can also adjust the flash timing from the flash PC sync port on your camera. The PC sync cable lets the camera control your slave flash. When the camera shutter opens or the main camera flash fires, the camera triggers your slave flash. • Your flash kit comes with two flash heads and light stands. You can use the second flash head as a second slave flash to provide additional lighting. The second flash head fires when it detects the light from the first slash head or the camera. If you want to connect both slave flash heads using PC sync cables. You will need a multi-flash controller unit (not provided). www.insigniaproducts.com 7
