Vivitar 2600d Flash Instructions

Photography is not only a sport but also a way of life for many people today. You need a good flash to be able to take the quality photos that will preserve your family's memories for a lifetime to come.








Instructions


1. Install the batteries into the flash, then turn the unit on by the power switch. The green ready light will start glowing when the flash is fully charged and ready for use.


2. Match the film speed by moving the speed index control from right to left until it is the same as the film speed of the camera you are using. Failure to do this could result in overexposed film after the pictures are taken.


3. Set the flash mode that you want by switching between the three modes on the flash.


4. Point the flash at something to make sure your subject is within range. Depress the open flash while watching for the green flash of the auto check.


5. Attach your flash to the camera and then check your film speed. After you have your desired film speed, attach the flash to the camera and lock the ring on the flash in the down position to the flash shoe. Always double check this to ensure it is attached securely to avoid damage.








6. Set your X-sync and check your film speed, then switch your camera to the on position. Set your flash and the f-stop on the lens. Step back, focus on your desired subject and you are ready to shoot.
