BASIC OPERATION

The section explains preparations for use of the flash, and the basic details of taking photos.
Automatic flash generates a flash only as necessary. Fill flash generates a flash with each photo.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

BATTERIES
The 3600HS (D) may be powered by : Four AA-size alkaline batteries Four AA-size lithium batteries Four AA-size rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries Always ensure that rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries are charged in the specified charger unit.

Checking Batteries

The low-battery lamp will light or blink on the control panel when the batteries are low. We recommend replacing the batteries. The low-battery lamp at the rear of the unit is lit when batteries are low, but flash can be used.
1. Open the battery-chamber door as shown.
2. Insert the batteries according to the diagram in the battery chamber.
When the low-battery lamp blinks at the rear of the unit, the batteries need to be replaced. Flash cannot be used. Insert new batteries.
3. Close the battery-chamber door.
The indicator lamps are lit on the control panel. Press the flash on/off button if it is not lit.
Check the orientation of the batteries if nothing glows when the flash on/off button is pressed.

Flash on/off button

Removing From The Camera
While pressing the mounting-foot release button , remove the flash.

Auto Power Off

Power is switched off and the indicator lamps turn off automatically to save the batteries when the camera or flash is not used for four minutes (auto power off).
When the flash is switched off (right diagram), the indicator lamps turn off after eight seconds, or after 60 minutes in the case of wireless flash (p. 29). The time of auto power off may be changed or be disabled. (p. 36).
Do not use high-speed film (rating in excess of ISO 1000). Use of such film increases the exposure error.
The low-speed film limit is the same as that for the films specified for the camera. See the camera manual for details.

PREPARATION

P MODE FLASH: THE BASICS

P MODE FLASH

1. Select the P mode on the camera. 2. Press the flash on/off button to glow the lamp [AUTO] [ON] or [ON]. 3. Press the shutter-release button partway down.
When the correct exposure has been obtained for the photo just taken:
The indicator lamps, [AUTO] and [ON] glow with automatic flash. The flash-ready lamp blinks on the control panel. The indicator blinks in the camera viewfinder.
4. When the flash is charged, press the shutter-release button to take the photo.
The flash is charged when the flashready lamp on the rear of the unit and in the camera viewfinder are both lit.
Only the lamp [ON] glows with fill flash.
The photo will be under-exposed if taken before charging is complete. Press the shutter-release button after checking that charging is complete when using the flash with the self-timer.
With the Maxxum/Dynax 7, automatic flash is used with full-auto, and fill flash when the P mode is selected. With the Maxxum/Dynax 9 and 800si or a DiMAGE digital camera, fill flash is used when the P mode is selected (automatic flash may also be selected as a custom setting with the 800si). With other cameras, automatic flash is used when the P mode is selected. Fill flash may be selected in the same way as the built-in flash in the camera.
Following is the flash range that is recommended when using the 3600HS (D). When you need information in more detail, please see the page 42.

EXPOSURE MODES M Mode Flash
1. Select the M mode on the camera. 2. Press the flash on/off button to glow the lamp [ON].

APPLICATIONS

3. Set the aperture and shutter speed, and focus the subject.
Reduce the aperture (ie increase the f-stop) to reduce the flash range, or open the aperture (ie reduce the f-stop) to increase the flash range. A shutter speed faster than the sync speed cannot be selected with the Maxxum STsi, 400si, and Dynax 500si, 500siSuper, and 404si.
4. Press the shutter-release button when charging is complete. FLASH SYNC SPEED
Flash photography is generally associated with a maximum shutter speed referred to as the flash sync speed. This restriction does not apply to cameras designed for high-speed sync (HSS) photography, since they allow flash photography at the maximum shutter speed of the camera. Sync speeds and high-speed sync for each camera are as follows.
Maxxum/Dynax 9: 1/300 sec, high-speed sync photography possible Maxxum/Dynax 7, 800si, 700si, 600si: 1/200 sec, high-speed sync photography possible Maxxum 5, XTsi, HTsi, and Dynax 5, 505si, 505siSuper: 1/125 sec, high-speed sync photography possible Maxxum 4, 3, STsi, QTsi, 400si, 300si, and Dynax 4, 3, 3L, 500si, 500siSuper, 404si, 303si, 300si: 1/90 sec, high-speed sync photography impossible DiMAGE digital cameras: All shutter speeds can be used.

The section explains the various methods available to make full use of the flash unit.

ZOOM FLASH COVERAGE

Auto Zoom
This flash unit employs auto zoom to cover a range of focal lengths from 24mm to 85mm. There is normally no need to manually adjust zoom coverage.

Manual Zoom

Zoom may be set manually irrespective of the focal length currently in use.
Press the zoom button to display the desired zoom coverage.

24mm focal length

85mm focal length
Press the shutter-release button partway down. When the coverage is 24mm, 35mm or 80mm, the lamp corresponding to its flash coverage is lit. For example: 24mm When the coverage is 28mm or 50mm, two lamps are lit. For example: 28mm
Zoom coverage is changed in the following order. The manual-zoom lamp [M.ZOOM] is lit above the zoom (flash-coverage) lamps when zoom is set manually.
AUTO ZOOM Automatic zoom coverage is set as follows:
Focal length in use 24 - 27mm 28 - 34mm 35 - 49mm 50 - 84mm 85mm Coverage 24mm 28mm 35mm 50mm 85mm
The indicator lamp of [24mm] blinks when a lens having a focal length of less than 24mm is used with auto zoom. Use of the Wide Angle Adapter (p. 22) is recommended in this case to prevent darkening at the periphery of the image.
The periphery of the image darkens when a zoom coverage less than the focal length currently in use is set.

ZOOM FLASH

ZOOM FLASH COVERAGE Wide Angle Adapter (17mm zoom angle)
Put the wide-angle adapter on for the 17mm zoom angle.

BOUNCE FLASH

Strong shadows appear when flash is used with a wall directly behind the subject. In such cases the flash is directed at the ceiling etc. so that the subject is illuminated with reflected light, and the intensity of the shadows are reduced to produce a softer light in the photograph.
Put the wide angle adapter on the flashtube.
Push the wide angle adapter directly downward to the flashtube until it holds. When taking off the wide angle adapter, pull one side of the adapter first to make removal easier. Do not set the zoom coverage except for 24mm on the control panel, when using wide angle adapter. When flat subjects are photographed from the front with very wideangle lenses such as the 17-35mm f/3.5G lens at the wide-angle setting, the distance between the lens and the center and periphery varies so that the amount of light from the periphery is slightly reduced. Keep the high-speed-sync lamp off when using Wide-Angle Adapter.
See the table below about the flash range when using the wide angle adapter.

Bounce flash

Normal flash

ISO100 2.5.6

1 - - 2.- 2

1 - - 5.- 4

Rotate the flash towards the ceiling.
The flash may be set to the following angles: 45, 60, 75, 90.

Adjusting Bounce Angle

An unsightly photo results when both direct light and bounced light from the flash are used simultaneously. Determine the bounce angle in reference to the distance to the reflective surface, the distance from the camera to the subject, and the focal length of the lens etc.

Incorrect

High-speed sync (p. 26) is cleared when employing bounce flash. Use a white ceiling or wall to reflect the flash. A colored surface may color the light. High ceilings or highly reflective surfaces such as glass are not recommended.
Determine the angle in relation to the table at right.
Focal length of lens 70mm minimum 28~70mm 28mm maximum

Bounce angle 75, 90

The bounce lamp glows on the control panel.

Correct

HIGH-SPEED SYNC [HSS]
High-speed sync is cleared when the high-speed-sync button is pressed again, and a shutter speed faster than the sync speed can no longer be set. It is recommended that photos be taken in bright locations. The flash range with high-speed sync is less than for normal flash photography. Check that the subject is within the flash range before taking the photo. It is possible to figure out the accurate flash range with high-speed sync by using the table of HSS flat flash (ISO100) on the page 46. Divide the guide number by the aperture. This is the maximum distance of the flash range. For example, when applying the shutter speed of 1/500, with a 28mm focal length, the guide number is 8 according to the table. Devide 8 (the guide number) by 4 (the aperture), which equals 2. The flash range would be 2 m in this case. The number will be doubled, when using ISO400 film. High-speed sync cannot be used with ratio flash, or bounce flash. When using a flash meter or color meter, high-speed sync cannot be used because it interferes with the proper exposure. High-speed sync lamp of the flash might be lit even with a camera which dose not have high-speed sync. In that case, high-speed sync dose not work. With a DiMAGE digital camera, the flash will sync with all shutter speeds regardless of the HSS setting.

High-speed sync

The Maxxum 4, 3, STsi, QTsi, 400si, 300si and Dynax 4, 3, 3L, 500si, 500siSuper, 404si, 303si, 300si do not support this function, and highspeed sync therefore cannot be used.
Press the high-speed-sync button.
The high-speed-sync lamp glows on the control panel.

HIGH-SPEED SYNC

High-speed sync eliminates the restrictions of flash sync speed, and allows you to use flash over the entire shutter speed range of the camera. The selectable aperture range is increased, allowing portrait shots with flash in which the aperture is opened to leave backgrounds out of focus and thus accentuate the human subject.

WIRELESS/REMOTE FLASH MODE [WL]
Photographs taken with the flash attached to the camera are flat as shown in photo. In such cases, remove the flash from the camera and position it to obtain a more threedimensional effect as shown in photo. Photo was taken using the cameras built-in flash and the flash located separately from the camera, with a light intensity of 1:2 respectively to produce a soft gradation between light and dark, and natural shadows (p.34). When taking this type of photograph with a single lens reflex camera, the camera and the flash unit are most commonly connected by cable. This flash eliminates the need for a cable to transmit signals to the flash unit by using the light of the flash itself as a signal. This type of flash control is referred to as wireless (remote) flash. The proper exposure is determined automatically by the camera.
1. Attach the flash to the camera and switch the flash and camera power supplies on.
2. Set the camera to wireless flash.
The method used for the setting varies with the camera. See the camera manual for details. When the camera is set to wireless the flash is also set to wireless automatically. The lamp of the wireless/remote flash, channel 1 [CH1] is lit when settings are done properly. When channel 2 is selected, lamp channel 2 [CH2] is lit. See the page 33 for details to change the channel settings.

7. Check again that the built-in flash and the 3600HS (D) are fully charged, and press the shutter-release button to take the photo.
The distances in the above table assume the use of ISO 100 film. If ISO 400 film is used the distances must be multiplied by a factor of two (assume a limit of 5 m).
5. Check that the built-in flash and 3600HS (D) are fully charged.
WIRELESS/REMOTE FLASH MODE Notes On Wireless Flash
The MS-2 mini-stand is useful when the flash unit is off the camera. The mini-stand has a tripod configuration with a threaded hole to attach the flash unit.
Changing the channel setting
When another wireless flash is being used nearby, your flash might fire with a light signal from the built-in flash of other cameras. In this case, the channel can be changed to prevent your settings from interference.
1. Make sure that the wireless/remote flash lamp, both [CH1] and [CH2] are not lit.

Attach Remove

Pre-flash fires when wireless/remote flash mode is selected. A flash meter and color meter cannot be used. Shutter speed is 1/60 or 1/45 of a second or less (this differs between cameras). Use with high-speed sync is possible only with the Maxxum/Dynax 7 and 5 in normal wireless mode (not ratio). The zoom position for the 3600HS (D) is automatically set to 24mm. When slow sync is used with wireless flash, press the AE lock button to generate a test flash and take the photo while holding down the AE lock button.
2 Press the wireless/remote flash button for three seconds.
The channel settings will be changed and so will the channel indicator lamp.
3. Attach the flash to the camera and press the shutter-release button partway down.
This operation transmits the information of channel settings to the camera.
Press the wireless/remote flash button [WL], in case that they are lit.
WIRELESS/REMOTE FLASH MODE Setting Wireless/Remote Flash By Flash Only

CAUTIONS WHILE HANDLING

During Photography
This flash unit generates strong light, and should therefore not be used in front of the eyes. The response of the data panel becomes slower as temperature decreases, and it becomes darker at high temperatures. Restore it to normal temperature if these problems occur. To prevent condensation from forming, place the flash in a sealed plastic bag when bringing it from cold environment to a warm environment. Allow it to come to room temperature before removing it from the bag. Battery capacity decreases at colder temperatures. Keep your flash and spare batteries in a warm inside pocket when shooting in cold weather. The lamp may glow even when there is some power left in the batteries in cold weather. Batteries will regain some of their capacity when warmed to normal operating temperature. This flash unit is not waterproof. Care is therefore required to ensure that it does not come into contact with water or sand when used near water. Contact with water, sand, dust, or salt content may result in a malfunction.

Batteries

Do not store the flash unit with the alkaline batteries inside it. Leakage from the batteries may damage the battery chamber. Due to the characteristics of alkaline batteries, temperature, and storage conditions, the battery level displayed on the data panel may be lower than the actual battery capacity. The displayed battery level will be restored to the correct value after the flash has been used a few times. When the lamp blinks to indicate that the flash cannot be used, pressing the flash on/off button in number of times may result in recovery of the battery. Replace the battery if it does not recover. When using the lithium batteries, if the batteries become hot due to high temperature or successive use, the lamp may blink and the flash may not be able to use for a while. Wait until the batteries become cold before using the flash again. Nickel-metal hydride batteries can lose power suddenly. If the lamp starts to glow or flash can no longer be used while taking pictures, change or recharge the batteries. Depending on the time elapsed since manufacture of the battery, the flash frequency and number of flashes for new batteries may differ from the values shown in the table.

Repetition (times) 200 - - - 3000
Repetition is the approximate number of times that are achieved before a new battery is completely flat.

BOUNCE FLASH
Direct flash illumination can cause harsh shadows on the subject and background. Bounce flash reflects the light from the ceiling to create soft diffuse illumination.

ADVANCED OPERATION

The section describes advanced flash photography techniques and accessories.
Bounce flash Normal flash

Page 24

Tilt the flash towards the ceiling.
The flash has a click stop at 60. The bounce head can be set in any position between 0 and 90.
Adjusting the Bounce Angle
The angle of the bounce head is important. If the bounce angle is too low, the subject will be illuminated by both directly with the flash and indirectly with the reflected light from the ceiling resulting in a harsh and unevenly lit photograph. Determine the bounce angle in reference to the distance to the reflective surface, the distance from the camera to the subject, and the angle of view of the lens.
With bounce flash, using ADI metering can result in incorrect exposure. Set the flash metering-mode switch to TTL. Use a white ceiling or wall to reflect the flash. The color of a surface will affect the color of the flash illumination. High ceilings or highly reflective surfaces such as glass are not suitable for bounce flash.

AF ILLUMINATOR

In low-light or when subject contrast is low, the autofocus system may not be able to focus. In these conditions, the flashs AF illuminator will active to aid the AF system when the shutterrelease button is pressed partway down.

OFF-CAMERA CABLES

The use of the optional off-camera cables allows the flash unit to be placed to the left or right of the subject to create attractive side lighting. Up to four flash units can be connected.
The cameras AF illuminator is disabled when the flash AF illuminator is in use. The AF illuminator is disabled when using the continuous AF mode. The AF illuminator may not operate with lenses with focal lengths greater than 300mm. The illuminator is disabled when the flash is used off-camera, or with the AF macro-zoom 3X-1X lens. The AF illuminator may not operate when the flash is used with the DiMAGE series digital cameras.
The off-camera cable allows the flash to be used from any position. The extension cable further extends of the distance of the flash from the camera. The cable CD and triple connector TC-1000 allows photography with multiple flash units.
AF ILLUMINATOR OFF-CAMERA CABLES
The following off-camera accessories are available: Off-camera cable Off-camera shoe Extension cable Cable CD Triple connector TC-1000

Page 28

OFF-CAMERA CABLES Flash-Ratio Control (varying the intensity of individual flash)
When using this flash with other accessory flash units*, a 2:1 flash ratio can be used. The flash ratio controls the relative power of two flash units. The 2:1 ratio indicates the output difference between the main light and fill light; the fill light controls the depth of the shadows. *5600HS (D), 5400HS, 5400xi, 5200i
The flash ratio cannot be set with this flash. The ratio must be set with the compatible accessory flash unit. See the flash manual for details. Ratio control cannot be used with the DiMAGE series digital cameras and Maxxum/Dynax 300si. The use of this function may result in incorrect exposures.
