When using the flash unit with the models listed above, the camera’s

firmware needs to be updated to the latest version in order to use the

LED beam as the AF-assist spot beam. (Refer to page 53.)

This update corrects the focus position deviation caused by

the difference in wavelengths between the AF-assist spot beam

of this flash unit and existing flash units.
The LED beam cannot be used as the AF-assist spot beam when

using the flash unit with the digital single lens reflex cameras released

before the K-7 and K-x. Set OFF for AF Spot Beam (Sb) in the function

menu. (Refer to page 52.)
