11.2.4 Shooting format adjustment
(Zoom-Size)
Certain types of digital cameras allow the
display for the position of the reflector to be
adjusted to chip-format (dimensions of the
recording module) using the Zoom Size
function.
Setting procedure
• Press the ቨ button as often as it takes
for the selection menu to appear.
• Press the sensor button on the
touch display.
• Press the sensor buttons on the
touch display and select "ZOOM SIZE".
• Press the sensor button on the
touch display.
• Press the sensor button on the
touch display. The setting is adopted
immediately.
"ZOOM SIZE" appears in the INFO menu after
activation of the zoom size function.
The Zoom Size function cannot be set with
cameras which do not support shooting
format adjustment!

11.3 AF-BEAM (AF auxiliary light)
If the AF metering system of a digital AF reflex
camera is unable to focus due to insufficient
ambient lighting, the camera activates the AF
auxiliary light
ቯ built into the flash unit.
This projects a stripe pattern onto the subject
which the camera uses to focus.
With the "AF-BEAM" function, the AF auxiliary
light can be switched on or off.
The range is approx. 6 m... 9 m (with a stan-
dard 1.7/50 mm lens). Parallax error bet-
ween the lens and AF auxiliary light
ቯ limits
the close-up range with the AF auxiliary light
to approximately 0.7 m to 1 m.
If the automatic AF auxiliary light ቯ is to be
activated by the camera, the "Single-AF (S)"
autofocus mode must be set on the camera
and the flash unit must indicate flash readi-
ness.
Some camera models support only the came-
ra's internal AF auxiliary light. In this case,
the automatic AF auxiliary light of the flash
unit is not activated (as in the case of com-
pact cameras; see the camera's operating
instructions)!
Low-speed zoom lenses can significantly cur-
tail the range of the AF auxiliary light!
Some cameras support the AF auxiliary light
in the flash unit only with the camera's cen-
tral AF sensor
ቯ. If a peripheral AF sensor ቯ
is selected, then the AF auxiliary light will not
be activated in the flash unit!!
