Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the SL01, ensure your camera is turned off before sliding the flash into the hot shoe mount. Once in place, tighten the locking mechanism to secure it. Since it uses a universal single-contact pin, you may need to set your camera to "Manual" mode to sync the shutter with the flash burst properly.
Regarding care, always ensure the flash is protected from direct water contact and extreme heat, as internal components are sensitive to humidity and thermal stress. The unit should not be fired directly toward a subject's eyes to prevent discomfort. Keep the flash unit in a dry place when not in use to extend the lifespan of the electronics.
