About this manual

The Panaflasher is a handheld flasher that mounts on an unused magazine port and provides low‑intensity light for flashing or fogging film. It features an iris control, built‑in PANACLEAR outlet, exposure meter, status lights, and a filter tray with six diffusion filters and an 80C color‑corrective filter.

The manual explains initial setup, how to select ASA or TIME, adjust E.V. numbers, and calculate flash percentages using the built‑in meter and charts. It also includes ASA equivalent and camera speed charts for reference.
