standards.
The Quick flash function enables flash shooting before the flash is fully charged
(p.18).
Using AA/LR6 batteries other than the alkaline type may cause improper
battery contact due to the irregular shape of the battery contacts.
Be aware that the batteries may become hot, if you change batteries after
firing flashes continuously.
Batteries are required by the flash unit even when an external power
source (p.68) is used.
