FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

Multi-step Auto Power Zoom function automatically provides optical flash coverage matched to the focal length of the lens in use (2480 mm). Choose between Camera Auto Mode and Manual Mode. Large, easy-to-read LCD panel displays all the information needed to monitor and control all flash settings. The panel can be illuminated for easy reading in dark conditions. The data display remains on for 5 seconds after pressing the Display button. Provides five Manual flash output settings, from full power to 1/16. The flash head can be tilted upward incrementally to 90 degrees (vertical), with stops at 45, 60, and 75 degrees, for convenient bounce flash capability.

OVERVIEW

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
The flash uses two 1.5V AA batteries (not included) and is compatible with alkaline, NiMH, oxy-alkaline, and most AA rechargeable batteries. We recommend using Kodak NiMH rechargeable digital camera batteries when possible. 1. Slide the power switch to the OFF position. Flashtube Housing 2. Open the battery compartment by sliding the battery door back slightly toward the rear of the unit to unlatch it, then flipping down the door. 3. Insert 2 AA size batteries into the battery compartment according to the polarity indications +. The flash will not operate if the batteries are installed incorrectly. 4. Close the battery door. When the unit is switched on, it will start charging with a slight humming sound and the Ready Light will come on when charging is completed. NOTE: The flash is ready to fire as soon as the Ready Light is lit. However, full power will not be available for several seconds. Wait a few seconds after the Ready Light activates to achieve maximum output. If it takes longer than 30 seconds for the Ready Light to come on after the flash is fired in Full Power Mode, replace the batteries.

The Zoom button toggles between: Auto Zoom modeflash focal length is determined automatically in accordance with the capture setting on the camera. The focal length range is 2480 mm. If the value on the camera is less than or equal to 24 mm, F mm is displayed. If no information is received from the camera, -- mm is displayed. Manual Zoom modeflash focal length is set manually, with settings of 24 mm, 28 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, or 80 mm. If the Zoom button is pressed for more than one second, the mode will change to Auto Zoom.
POWER SAVE AND AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN
To save battery life, the flash automatically switches to the Standby state after 5 minutes of inactivity or when your camera goes into LCD Time Out state. The LCD panel and Ready Light turn off. To reactivate the flash, partly depress the cameras shutter release, or slide the power switch to the OFF position and then back to the ON position. The flash Ready Light and LCD panel will go on again after a brief delay.

TEST BUTTON

If the Test button is pressed after the Ready Light goes on, a test flash fires.

FLASH RANGE SCALE

In response to a signal from the camera, the flash calculates the effective flash range and displays it on the LCD panel. This range shows the minimum and maximum distances a proper exposure can be made using the flash. To increase or decrease the effective distances, set the camera to Aperture Priority mode and change the aperture setting. The flash range scale changes as the aperture (f/stop value) is adjusted. The available range will be displayed when you partly depress the cameras shutter release or when the Ready Light is on. The flash range is 1.ft (0.530 m) and is indicated by a bar graph. An asterisk indicates distances greater than 100 ft (30 m).

LCD BACK LIGHT

Use the LCD Back Light to illuminate the LCD panel for easy reading in dark conditions. To turn on the LCD Back Light, press the Mode or Zoom button. After 5 seconds of inactivity, the LCD Back Light automatically turns off.

ADJUSTABLE BOUNCE FLASH HEAD
The P20 flash includes a head that lets you position the light in a number of vertical positions, in all exposure modes. For more pleasing and creative lighting effects, such as softening harsh shadows on a subject, the Bounce Flash Head is adjustable vertically up to 90 degrees, with stops at 45, 60, and 75 degrees.
CAUTION Do not attempt to force the head beyond the available settings, or damage to the flash unit will occur.
1. Partly depress the cameras shutter release to check whether the correct aperture and shutter speed are selected.

Direct Flash

Bounce Flash
IMPORTANT: The effectiveness of the bounce flash feature is dependent upon the distance to, and the condition of, the reflecting surface used.
2. Aim the flash head at a point on the bounce surface, halfway between the flash and the subject. Normally, when the flash is bounced off a surface, it will lose 25% power or more, even when the surface is white. Therefore, when a bounce flash photo is taken in TTL (through the lens) mode, it is recommended that you select a larger aperture than for a direct flash photograph. NOTE: Bounce your flash off a white surface whenever possible to achieve the best overall illumination level. In color photography, when a colored surface is used for bounce lighting, it reflects its color on the subject. When indoors, use a white ceiling of 20 ft (6.1 m) or lower.

POWER ZOOM HEAD

The P20 flash is equipped with a motorized zoom head. It is controlled by the camera and is set automatically to provide optimal flash coverage for the focal length of the lens in use. It can even select intermediate settings within the 2480 mm focal length range. Or, you can manually set it to 24, 28, 35, 50, and 80 mm by using the Manual Zoom mode. NOTE: Auto Power Zoom works only with lenses of 24 mm or greater focal length.

Battery life

KODAK Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries AA (2100 mAh): 400 pictures Battery life per CIPA testing method using 128 MB SD Card. Approximate number of pictures in Smart Capture mode. Actual life may vary based on usage.

Extending battery life

Use power-saving features. (Examples: the EVF instead of the LCD; lower the Auto Power Off setting; set LCD Brightness to Power Save; set Image Stabilizer to Off.) See Chapter 4, Using the menu button. Keep battery contacts/terminals clean. Wipe with a dry cloth. Fully charge Ni-MH batteries prior to use and occasionally discharge to depletion. Avoid over-charging Ni-MH batteries. Battery performance is reduced at low temperatures. When using your camera in cold weather, keep spare batteries warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature, they may be usable. 67

Care and maintenance

If you suspect water has gotten inside the camera, remove the battery and card. Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera. Blow gently on the lens or LCD to remove dust and dirt. Wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do not use cleaning solutions unless designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not allow chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to contact painted surfaces. Service agreements may be available in your country. Contact a dealer of KODAK Products for more information. For digital camera disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities.

Kodak will repair or replace Products if they fail to function properly during the warranty period, subject to any conditions and/or limitations stated herein. Warranty service will include all labor as well as any necessary adjustments and/or replacement parts. If Kodak is unable to repair or replace a Product, Kodak will, at its option, refund the purchase price paid for the Product provided the Product has been returned to Kodak along with proof of the purchase price paid. Repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase price are the sole remedies under the warranty. If replacement parts are 68

used in making repairs, those parts may be remanufactured, or may contain remanufactured materials. If it is necessary to replace the entire Product, it may be replaced with a remanufactured Product. Remanufactured Products, parts and materials are warranted for the remaining warranty term of the original Product, or 90 days after the date of repair or replacement, whichever is longer. Limitations This warranty does not cover circumstances beyond Kodak's control. This warranty does not apply when failure is due to shipping damage, accident, alteration, modification, unauthorized service, misuse, abuse, use with incompatible accessories or attachments (such as third party ink or ink tanks), failure to follow Kodak's operation, maintenance or repacking instructions, failure to use items supplied by Kodak (such as adapters and cables), or claims made after the duration of this warranty. Kodak makes no other express or implied warranty for this product, and disclaims the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. In the event that the exclusion of any implied warranty is ineffective under the law, the duration of the implied warranty will be one year from the purchase date or such longer period as required by law.

Your rights Some states or jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state or by jurisdiction. Outside the United States and Canada In countries other than the United States and Canada, the terms and conditions of this warranty may be different. Unless a specific Kodak warranty is communicated to the purchaser in writing by a Kodak company, no warranty or liability exists beyond any minimum requirements imposed by law, even though defect, damage, or loss may be by negligence or other act.
