New Digital Camera

Kit includes: 1) Cameta 2800 Automatic Electronic Flash; 2) Sunpak Digital Camera Slave Grip. >>> The Cameta 2800 Flash has two automatic power settings, a correct exposure verification indicator, a bounce head adjustable up to 90-degrees for soft lighting effects, and energy-saving thyristor circuitry for faster recycling and longer battery life. While most camera's built-in flash units are only effective from a distance of 8 to 12 feet, the Cameta 2800 Flash gives you the freedom to be more than four times farther away. With this much additional flash power, it's almost like having a bolt of lightning at your command. >>> The Sunpak Digital Slave Grip has a comfortable contoured hand-grip with quick-release camera platform and enables the use of the Cameta 2800 Flash as a wireless remote "slave" to complement your camera's built-in flash. The Digital Slave Grip can even be used off-camera with the 2800 Flash as a remote slave for more professional and creative lighting effects. >>> The built-in flashes of most digital cameras emit a "pre-flash" and/or a "red-eye" pulse that fires before the shutter opens, followed by an additional flash pulse which actually lights your picture. This "pre-flash" or "red-eye" pulse confuses other non-digital flash and slave units, causing them to go off at the wrong time, rendering them useless for your digital camera. But the advanced pulse-counting digital circuitry of the Sunpak Digital Slave Grip is not fooled by the "pre-flash." Five LED-indicated pulse-counting and delay-variations are incorporated into the Digital Slave Grip allowing it to ignore "pre-flashes" and fire the powerful 2800 Flash at the precise moment your camera requires. Set it up with your camera's built-in flash just once -- using our included easy-to-follow step-by-step directions -- and you are all set for noticeably better flash pictures from that moment on. >>> Requires a total of 8 AA batteries, available separately.

The Cameta DSLR300 digital slave flash w/Sunpak grip is a powerful, easy, and inexpensive way to SUPPLEMENT your own digital camera's on-camera flash.

As listed, it is a SLAVE flash that works ON or OFF your camera in synch with or without your camera's red-eye feature. The flash has a 'manual' (maximum output), a lower automatic sensor setting, and a higher automatic sensor setting. It is recommended to set your camera ASA to 200, and then the flash automatic sensors at the 'higher' (red) or 'lower' (blue) setting adjust the flash output to give a perfect exposure every time. When combined with the Sunpak grip (which requires it's own 4 AA batteries), the unit becomes a VERY versatile fill or supplemental flash w/ a nicely secure wide angle, normal and telephoto flash sliding lens element settings. (On 'wide angle' and a very dark night, it nicely lit up an entire car and the area around it at a 30' distance.) There are five settings on the grip for how you wish for the slave to work. When your flash fires, the slave fires at various delays.

(The Cameta DSLR300 digital slave flash with TWO flash power levels is MUCH more powerful and better made than the Vivitar SF4000, but the DSLR300 does require the sunpak grip to work without a hot-shoe camera.) -- Excellent manual slave flash for digital cameras
