OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Power grip
• Flash Power Grip FP-1
(The RG-1 remote grip cable and FL-CB01 or FL-CB02 flash bracket cable [depending on the
digital camera used] are required.)
This accessory allows the electronic flash to be used as a
grip-on type flash powered from four C (R14) alkaline dry cell
batteries.
Using these batteries together with the electronic flash bat-
teries makes it possible to charge the flash at a higher speed
and increase the available flash emission count.

(High Voltage Pack HV-1, Ni-Mh Battery Pack BN-1, and AC Adapter AC-2)
The Ni-Mh battery pack BN-1 incorporated in this accessory
makes it possible to charge the flash at a higher speed and
increase the available flash emission count.
