- there's a chart of Guide numbers at the various power settings and zoom head settings. Tape that chart to the flash head. With a little bit of practice you'll learn how to make the adjustments you need pretty quickly. Keeping the flash head set at one focal length would probably help a lot as well, since that's one less variable to muck up the works.
hehe that's awesome. cause i bought this flash used last semester just for class, and the guy didn't have a manual. so this is great
thanks
