I have this great (older) flash, a Sunpak 333, that I used on my old Canon SLR film camera. There are ports for connection to the camera and something called "auto thyristor" on the flash itself. It swivels almost 360 degrees around and can tilt 90 degrees from forward to straight up. It's wonderful for bounce lighting.
Anyway, I moved into digital photography a few years ago with the ultra compact Pentax S4; nice camera, great for travel due to it's small size. Recently though, I've started leaning back towards full SLR and in April, I bought a Pentax (really like this company) K100D digital SLR. Wonderful features like in-camera image stabilization and the ability to use any (almost) Pentax-compatible lens ever made. However, the flash on the camera casts harsh, direct light and it doesn't meter accurately when there are objects in the foreground.
I would like to use my old Sunpak 333, which will need to be set on "manual". Here's my problem: I don't have the instruction manual that came with the flash and I'm having a horrid time trying to figure out all the settings. I cannot find the instructions online!
Does anyone have an old instruction manual that they'd be willing to scan for me? I just need to know how to set the manual settings and adjust for distances. Thanks in advance.
