6.5 Light sensitivity (ISO)
If there is no digital data transfer between the camera and flash unit, for exam-
ple with cameras from Group A (see table 1) or when using non-CPU–capable
lenses, the ISO can be manually set from 6 to 6400.
For flash modes
(automatic) and (manual), the camera and flash unit
have to be set to the same ISO value.
Setting procedure:
• Press the „Para“ button (Parameters) until „ISO“ flashes on the LC display.
• Set the desired ISO value using the PLUS/MINUS buttons. The setting takes
effect immediately.
• Press the „Return“ button to change the LC display back to the normal
view. If the „Return“ button is not pressed, the display will change back to
the normal view after about 5 seconds.
During TTL flash mode, setting the ISO on the flash unit is only necessary to
achieve the correct distance range indication, not for the function of the flash.
6.6 Manual partial light output (P)
In the manual mode and the strobe mode , the light output can also be
adjusted to fit the shooting situation with the manual partial light output para-
meter (P). Settings in manual flash mode M range from P 1/1 (full light output)
to P 1/256, in intervals of 1/3.
Setting procedure:
• Press the „Para“ button (Parameters) until „P“ appears on the LC display.
• Set the desired light output (1/1-1/256) with the PLUS/MINUS buttons. The
setting takes effect immediately.
• Press the „Return“ button to change the LC display back to the normal
view. If the „Return“ button is not pressed, the display will change back to
the normal view after about 5 seconds.
In strobe mode , the maximum partial light output is automatically
adjusted to fit the flash parameters chosen.
In strobe mode
, reduction of the manual partial light output is only
possible in full intervals.
