Hi,

Anyone know where I can get hold of an instruction manual for a Sunpak 888 AFZ?

Never used a dedicated flash before and need some guidance.

Thanks

Sunpak Japan have been kind enough to send one!!

Thought you'd all like to know.

Glad you managed to get one, I had tried looking for you but came up blank.

Thanks for looking.
Sadly the Japanese send a manual in just about every language except English...

........well I hope there's a few pictures then!

Dedicated guns are normally easy to use and fairly self explanatory, they synchronize the flash output to the shutter speed of the camera and the amount of light delivered is either measured by the sensor on the gun or within the camera - depends how sophisticated the combination is.
Either way, you should find it easy to achieve decent results - leave everything set to auto and see how you get on with standard shots.
You may have settings that enable you to reduce the flash output manually ie. 1/2, 1/4 or even 1/16 of full power and you can use these for fill-in and close-up work where a less powerful burst is required.

A local camera store ie. Jessops, may suggest an alternative brand of gun that is of a similar spec. - perhaps you could get a manual for that instead (just a thought).
Die my dear doctor, that's the last thing I shall do!
