General Nissin 36TW Information
The flash has a guide number of 36 and it has 90º bounce and 360º swivel. Originally it had three color filters and diffuser (for wider flash) and condenser (for more flash power in tele applications). The flash also has secondary smaller flash, which can be turned on and off.
Q: How to use the flash in aperture automatic mode ?
1. Set the flash M/A selector to A setting
2. Select flash power level from the three way selector (Yellow, Green, Red)
3. Set the lower slider of the so that the full circle is at the same ASA number as your film speed. In the photo on this page I have used ASA 50 film (Velvia) and the lower slider is in that setting.
4. Set the camera to use the aperture that the lower slider and the vertical colored lines between the sliders tell you to use. In the example photo I have used Red power lever and ASA 50, and from that information and properly set slider I can see that I have to use aperture F2. If I would have used Green power level, then the aperture would have to be set to F2.
(5. Test that the flash has enough power for selected settings, by pressing the small white button on the food of the flash. If the green indicator on the left side of the flash turns to green then the flash has enough power.)
6. Take the photo.
Take into concideration these things while using any aperture automatic flash:
flash will cuts off the flash after certain amount of light has reflected back to the sensor (in front of the flash naturally). This circuitry is central weighted metering in cameras. For example if you are photographing person with bright white shirt, you will propably end up underexposed face. You have to compensate according to the situation and scene.
while using aperture automatic mode you can bounce the flash any way you like and the exposure will be correct (if settings are correct, and you have compensated the scene in the settings)
Q: How to use the flash in manual mode ?
Basically you have two ways to do it:
1. Measure distance (or read it from camera) and set the top slider to T, N or W position depending, which acessory filter you are using with camera. If none if used, use N mode. In example picture W is selected (W = wide diffuser)
2. Set the power level of flast to full power, half power or quarter power (full circle, half circle, quarter circle)
3. Set the lower slider according to film speed and power level used.
4. Select camera aperture from reading down from the top slider. In example photo I used Full power with ASA 50 film, and for example if the distance would be 6.5 meters, I would have selected F2.8. Also from same picture you take another example: half power, ASA 200 and for example at three meters it would require us to use the aperture F5.6
When using for fill in flash use 1 to 1.5 stops smaller than the recommended. For example if I'm using Velvia (ASA 50) and using full power and the distance from flash to subject is 3 meters I would use aperture F8 or something between F8 and F11 (the "correct" aperture would be 5.6)
Q: Can I use Nissin 360 TW with camera X ?
This flash can be used all cameras, which are able to send the sync signal via hotshoe or via PC-cord. And of course you have to be able to control the exposure manually or at least the aperture have to be set manually. Nissin has 10 sync voltage and it should not be harmfull to any cameras.
Q: How long batteries will last ?
It depends on batteries and how much power you are using. In normal use batteries have lasted for 100 to 150 photos and NiMh rechargeable batteries 200 to 500 photos and the flash recharge time is about twice as fast compared to normal batteries.

Looking after your camera
Use a Camera Bag
A camera bag does more than just protect the camera against scratches and dust: It keeps it safe from rain because many are waterproof on the outside.
Be Very Careful Around the LCD Screen and Camera Lens
Use only special equipment to clean your camera’s LCD screen and camera lens. Buy a special cleaning kit that includes liquid solutions, microfiber cloths and brushes that have been specially designed to clean your camera lens.
Never Leave Your Batteries in Your Camera for Too Long
Many camera batteries are now alkaline or lithium formats. If you keep your camera with the batteries inside of it in a moist area, then the batteries can get corrosive. So if you’re thinking about just putting your camera on the shelf for several months, do yourself a favor and remove them.
Turn Your Camera Off Prior to Doing Anything
Before you do anything to your camera, always keep in mind that it should be turned off first. No matter what it is—swapping lenses, changing memory cards or disconnecting or attaching cables—your camera should be turned off.
Cold and Wet Weather Can Wreak Havoc on Your Camera Body
Take your camera out only in a waterproof bag. If the weather’s unusually cold, just wrap your camera in a plastic bag that has silica desiccant packets for the reduction of moisture. It’s also a smart idea to have a soft towel with you to wipe off any moisture, just in case it should get on your camera.
Good Memory Card Care Is Good Camera Care
Only transport your memory cards inside of a protective caseMake sure the memory cards stay dust-free at all times. When removing memory cards, make sure you do so indoors or in non-dusty situations.
Make sure that you keep memory cards only in cool places. Never keep them in places where they may heat up, like dashboards or glove compartments.
Never place your memory cards close to magnetic sources. Examples of magnetic sources are things such as audio speakers, TV monitors and actual magnets.
Use a Filter to Protect Your Camera Lens
The lens of your camera is naturally fragile. As such, it’s susceptible to scratches, cracks, dents…you name it. A UV filter will not only will you give your lens a fighting chance, but you’ll also enhance the quality of your pictures.
Condensation Can Be Controlled
Condensation normally happens when you move your camera between different temperatures.
Allow your camera a chance to naturally get used to the hotter environment. Don’t place it inside a closed plastic bag when transporting it between different temperatures! Just let the camera sit in the humid temperature for a while, until condensation disappears.
If this still doesn’t get rid of all of it, you can utilize a soft cloth to wipe away any remaining moisture and marks left behind from the condensation.
