Notes On Use - Sony HVL-F45RM Mode D'emploi

Notes on use

While photographing
• This flash unit generates strong
light, so it should not be used
directly in front of the eyes.
• Do not use the flash 20 times
in a row or in quick succession
in order to prevent heating and
degradation of the camera and
flash unit. (when the power
level is 1/32, 40 times in a row.)
Stop using the flash unit and
cool it for 10 minutes or more,
if the flash is triggered up to
the limit for the number of
times in quick succession.
• During wireless photography,
this flash unit may fire
unexpectedly because the
unit is unable to receive
communication signals from
an off-camera flash due to
its location. In such a case,
change the location of the off-
camera flash or the wireless
channel setting.
• Do not put this flash unit with
the camera attached in the
bag, etc. It may result in a
malfunction of this flash unit
or the camera.
• Do not carry this flash unit with
the camera attached. It may
result in a malfunction.
• Do not use the flash near
people when rotating the
flashtube during bounce

photography. The flash light
may damage the eyes, or the
hot flashtube may cause a
burn.
• When rotating the flashtube,
be careful not to catch your
fingers in the rotating part. You
may be injured.
• This camera is designed to be
dust and moisture-resistant,
but is not waterproof or
splashproof.
• When closing the battery
chamber door, press it firmly in
while sliding it fully across. Be
careful not to injure yourself
by catching your finger in the
battery chamber door when
closing it.
Batteries
• The battery level displayed
on the LCD panel may be
lower than the actual battery
capacity, due to temperature
and storage conditions. The
displayed battery level may be
restored to the correct value
after the flash has been used a
few times.
• Nickel-metal hydride batteries
can lose power suddenly. If
the low-battery indicator starts
blinking or the flash can no
longer be used while taking
pictures, change or recharge
the batteries.
