VI. Test the camera and flash [above water]
Now that you have made all the correct settings to your flash and
camera, take a few test pictures to make sure the camera and
external flash fires together.
1. Power on the camera and flash.
a. Make sure the camera settings are set as described on
page 13-14.
b. Turn the flash brightness control dial on the back of the
flash to Auto.
2. Wait for the flash-ready light to turn on. A blinking flash-ready
light means the flash is recycling, which takes a few seconds.
3. Take a series of test picture while viewing the external flash
from the side (Don’t look directly into the flash).
4. The camera’s flash and the external flash should be firing
together.
5. If the external flash is not firing at the same time as the
camera’s primary flash review the instructions on pages 6
through 14 or refer to the trouble shooting guide at the end of
this manual.
