Note
Up to 40 successive full flashes are permitted. To allow the light-emitting surface to cool, the flash should not be
used for at least 10 minutes after 10 flashes have been fired. See page 48 for details.
CONTINUOUS FIRING
Continuous firing makes the light-emitting section hot and may cause it to deteriorate or malfunc-
tion. Therefore, continuous firing should be limited to the counts shown in the following tables. Do
not use the Macro Flash System for at least 10 minutes after continuous firing up to the limit count.
