7.3 Flash Bracketing Series (FB)

A series of flash exposures (flash-bracketing FB) can be carried out in the

and automatic

flash modes. A flash bracketing series consists of

three successive flash shots with different flash exposure correction values.
When a flash bracketing series is set, FB and the correction value appear on the

display. The possible correction values range from 1/3 to 3 apertures in one-

third aperture increments.
Setting procedure:

• Press the

button repeatedly until „Select“

appears on the display.

• Select the menu option „FB“ by pressing the

and

buttons. The selected menu option will be

highlighted.

• Confirm the selection of the special function by pres-

sing the

button.

• Select the desired setting with the

but-

• Press the button

repeatedly until the screen is

reset to its normal view. If the button

is not pres-

sed, the display is automatically reset to its normal

view after about 5 seconds.

„FB 2“ and the minus correction value (EV) will also appear on the display.

Flash bracketing series in the TTL flash mode
A flash bracketing series in the TTL flash mode is only possible if the camera

supports the setting of a manual flash exposure correction on the flash unit (see

camera instruction manual)! Otherwise, the shots are taken without a correction

value!
Flash bracketing in automatic flash mode A
The type of camera is not important for a flash bracketing series in automatic

flash mode A.

7.4 Extended Zoom Mode (Zoom Ext)

In the extended zoom mode, the focal length of the main reflector is reduced to

one level below the focal length of the camera lens. The resulting broader light

coverage provides additional dispersed light (reflections) inside rooms so that a

softer flash illumination is possible.
