Alkaline or Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries?
The malor advantage of alkaline batteries
is that they provide more flashes per set.
While nickel-cadmium batteries will
provide fewer flashes per set, they will
recycle your 3075G slightly faster
and can be recharged hundreds of times
for more economical operation over the
long run.

To Install Batteries:
t)

Remove the Battery Holder as illustrat=

2l

Open the Battery Holder as illustrated

3)

Insert four AA-size batteries (Alkaline

or Nickel-Cadmium) as shown (#3). ge
sure to observe correct polarity or you
may cause damage to your Auto 3075G.

your Auto 3075G. Do not force since
it will fit in only the proper position.

Selecting Flash Position
Your 3075G has a unique flash head
assembly which allows you to aim the
ligjnt in many directions. This enables you
to use the 3075G to render more
pleasing and more creative lighting results.
For added convenience, the adjustable
Bounce Flash Head is marked so you can
determine the exact angle of bounce you
desire.
o

To rotate the adjustable Bounce Flash

Head, gently grip it with your
thumb and foref inger and turn to
desired setting. Do NoT

FoRCE THE

H EAD.
lf using automatic operation, the built-in
sensor will

properly

adjust the f lash for

perfectly exposed pictures.

Note: The auto sensor must always
face the subject for proper auto exposure control.

34

Determine Lens Opening for
Bounce Lighting:(Manual)
1. Measurethe distancebetweenyour
3075G and subject.And get the
f/stop number from your exposure
calculatorscale.(Example: f/8 at
3 . 8 m 11 2 ' w i t h A S A I q ) / D l N 2 1 . S e e
page24.)
2. Add two f/stops to the lens opening.

NOTE: lt is strongly recommendedto use
electronicflash meter to measurea correct
exposure,sincebounce surfaceshave
different reflection ratio. lf flash meter is
not used, step exposuresis also good idea.

Remember

that you can bounco

homes, a white wall makes an excellent
reflective surface for bounce flash . . . and,
quite often, more light can reach the
subject since the light does not have to
travel as far.

lf you can't find a suitable bounce surface,

you can make one . . . lf the wall or
ceiling is any color other than white, your
subject will show that color in the finished
photograph. Therefore, create your own
bounce surface. . . possibly you can use an
ordinary piece of white cardboard held or
taped in front of the flashtube housing so
that it reflects the light onto the subject.

5 . In close-up photography,

many excellent

lighting effects can be achieved by using

one or more pieces of white cardboard as
reflective surfaces in bounce flash. The
soft, diffused effect of "bounce"

often reveals fascinating details of small

objects.

Multiple FlashOperation with
the Sunpak Auto SlaveUnit

Using two or more Sunpak electronic flash

unit can produce stunningly attractive
professional portraits. Equally, using
additional f lash units strategically positioned can substantially expand your
photographic capabilities. To do this: use
the compact, solid-state Sunpak Auto
Slave Unit, available from your Sunpak
dealer. This permits wireless synchronization of any number of Sunpak electronic
flash units at distances up to 100' (3Om)
from the "Master" unit.
When the master unit (with shutter cord
connected to the camera) is fired, all
other slave-equipped units f ire simultaneously.

42

www.orphancameras.com
A. Plug the Sunpak Slave Unit into the
flash cord of your auxiliary (second)
flash unit.
B. Adjust

the sensor eye of the Slave so

that it faces the master f lash unit.

C.

Determine the correct lens opening

(as a starting guide, close

manually

down lens one f/number

from

indicated aperture when using two

d i r e c t l y - a i m e d f l a s h e s ).
D. Connect the main flash to your camera
in the normal manner.
E. Shoot . . . when the light from the
master {camera-connected}

f lash

reaches the Sunpak Slave's sensor, the

Slave automatically fires the second

flash in perfect synchronization with
the first! The Sunpak Slave operates at
distances of up to 100 feet from the
master flash, and is unaffected by even
the brightest color lighting.

Care of Your Electronic Flash
Your Sunpak electronic flash has been
'mainengineered to require almost no
tenance' under normal use. Still, to insure
best performance year-in and year-out,
follow

1.

these basic pointers:

Inspect Batteries Frequently.

'lnspect'

means for reasonable recycling time

(the length of time it takes the indicator
light to come on between flashes): if
it's 30 seconds or more, a fresh set of
alkaline batteries should be obtained
(or if nickel cadmium batteries are
used, they should be recharged).
It's also wise to check your batteries
for appearance: sometimes, even the
best of batteries discharge or leak some
chemical material through the jacket . .
and leave a whitish-powder

on the
b a t t e r y , w h i c h p a s s e so n t o y o u r
Sunpak's electrical contacts. (lf this
has happend, replace the batteries
after cleaning the Sunpak's internal
battery contacts with a penknife.)
Finally, it's a good idea to remove the
batteries once in a while and wipe
them with a pencil eraser-the cleaner

46

the battery surface, the easier it is for

www.orphancameras.com
the energy to pass through your flashgun's electrical system
2.

w'w'

remove the batteries and store them

separately (inside a plastic bag and in a
cool, dry place).

/;.1/,!

Remove Batteries. lf for some reason

you do not intend to use your flash for
a period of several weeks or more,

3.

Make sure Flash is Securely Attached

shoe is securely attached to your
camera!)

BE SURE TO THOROUGHLY

THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY AFTER
CLEANING.
5. Service. ln the unlikely event that
your Sunpak electronic flash requires
service, return it to your dealer or the
address shown on Sunpak world wide
network. Do not, under any conditions, attempt to disassemble and/or
adjust it yourself : electronic f lash

operates on high voltage, and should
not be taken apart. However, keep in
mind that flash failure is more likely to
result from weak batteries than any
other single cause: if the flash doesn't
