before taking pictures.
• The modelling light is activated when „ML ON“ is displayed.
• The modelling light is deactivated when „ML OFF“ is displayed.
Setting procedure:
• Press the

button repeatedly until „Select“

appears on the display.

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

and

but-

tons. The setting takes effect immediately.

• Press the button

repeatedly until the screen is

reset to its normal state. If the button

is not pres-

sed, the display is automatically reset to its normal

view after about 5 seconds.

Once the modelling light function is activated, the sym-

bol

is displayed on the flash-ready indicator ቲ

or the manual firing button. The modelling light is acti-

vated when the manual firing button ቲ is pressed.
