k
Some cameras support the AF auxiliary light
ቪ in the
flash unit only with the camera’s central AF sensor.
9 Triggering control (auto-flash)
On some cameras, the flash will not be fired when the
prevailing light is sufficient for an exposure. When the
camera shutter release is depressed, no flash exposure
is triggered.
In various cameras, the triggering control only works
in the full program mode or “P” program or must be
activated on the camera (see camera operating
instructions).
10 Care and maintenance
Remove any dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use any cleaning agents – plastic components could be
damaged.
10.1 Firmware updates
The firmware for the flash unit can be updated via the
USB socket
ቩ and can conform to the functions of
future cameras (firmware update).
Checking the software version
• Switch off the flash unit; to do this, press button
Ǽ
ባ until all LED displays turn off.
• Switch on the flash unit while holding down the
“TTL”
ቧ button, then release the button.
The “TTL”
ቧ button on the flash unit blinks, followed by
the “SLAVE” button
ብ.
The number of blink pulses indicates the software
version; for example, if the “TTL” button
ቧ blinks once
and the “SLAVE” button
ብ blinks 3 times, software
version 1.3 is installed.
