Manual for 540

Chuckdup · 12-22-2009, 09:36 PM

Im looking for an online manual for the Pentax 540 flash unit. I have just ordered one, but would like to start reading up on how to use it before it arrives. Any suggestions??

Cheers

It's available on the official Pentax website:

It's not the best arranged manual, but it should give you some pointers to its operation - it'll be much more clear when you actually get your hands on the flash.

This is mildly self-promotional, but: I've provided direct links to the manuals for all the different Pentax-dedicated flash models on the flash-specific pages on my PTTL Flash Guide.
For example: Pentax P-TTL Flash Comparison: Pentax AF540FGZ

This will just take you to the link Ash provides above, but you may find it handy in the future when you're looking at Metz, for example. Or not; whatever.
