540 fgz flash

RussellW · 12-13-2008, 12:49 AM

Hi All,

Does anyone have a copy of the instruction manual for this flash.
or know where on the WEB I can download one.

Flash photography is my weakest area in photography, so I have decidedto fine tune my skills over the Christmas break and can't remember what to do with this flash.

Cheers

Don't get your hopes up, though. That manual is fairly useless. However, there are a couple of decent tutorial videos for wireless on the Pentax site. See for instance here.

Pretty much all modern manuals suffer from the same problem. They will tell you what button to push to turn something on. They don’t tell you things like why to turn it on or how to use it. So for example it will tell you how to turn on High Speed Sync but not that it can help you take a photo so the sky is bluer or how the set the camera/flash to do it. But you have to start somewhere.
