Before purchasing the Lux Junior, please check the "Camera Compatibility List" on the details page to ensure it works with your camera. The Lux Junior is compatible with most cameras featuring a Single-Contact Hotshoe. It's important to confirm your camera has this feature to avoid any compatibility issues.
Please note that this flash is NOT compatible with Canon EOS Rebel SL3, 250D, T7, 1500D, 2000D, T100, 3000D, 4000D, 200DII, R7, R6II, R8, R10, R50, as well as Sony A9III, A99, A77, A350, ZV-1F, and Fuji X-A3, X100F, X100T.
For troubleshooting, if the flash fails to fire, ensure the flash recycle indicator turns green. If it stays red or white, replace the battery. If needed, switch the camera flash setting to "manual mode (M)". For ideal performance, set the shutter speed below 1/200, ISO at 100 (adjust as needed), and the aperture at 2.8 (adjust as needed).
The Lux Junior is compact (2.9 x 2.8 x 2 inches) and lightweight (130g), made mainly of plastic, and powered by two AAA batteries (not included). Accessories, including the storage bag and triggering cable, can be found at the bottom of the box under the black foam.
Experience the nostalgic charm and versatility of the 1980s with Lux Junior, crafted to let your creativity flow seamlessly, no matter the evolution of technology.
