Setting the mode of operation

• Switch on the flash unit with the

button. The start screen appears.
Thereafter, the flash unit always switches
on with the mode of operation that was
used last (e.g. M flash mode).

• Press the displayed mode of operation on

the touch display as many times as it takes
for the display for selecting the mode of
operation to appear.

• Press the

sensor buttons on the

touch display and select the desired mode
of operation.

• Press on the selected mode of operation

that is highlighted in black. The setting is
adopted immediately.

• Set a suitable mode of operation on the

camera, e.g. P, Tv, Av, M etc.

• Tap the shutter release to transfer data

between the flash unit and the camera.

7.2 Automatic TTL Fill-in flash mode

The automatic TTL fill-in flash mode is
activated by most cameras when the
automatic programme P is selected and by
Vari or subject programmes during daylight
(see camera operating manual).

Fill-in flash mode overcomes troublesome
shadows and produces a more balanced
exposure between subject and background
with contre-jour shots. The camera’s
computer-controlled metering system sets
the most suitable combination of shutter
speed, aperture and flash output.

Ensure that the contre-jour light source does
not shine directly into the lens, as this will
interfere with the camera’s TTL metering
system!
There is no setting or display for automatic
TTL fill-in flash in the flash unit.
