7.10 Auto OFF Function (Standby)

To save battery power and prevent inadvertent battery discharge, the flash unit

is factory-set to automatically switch over to standby mode, while flash readi-

ness and the LC display are switched off about 10 minutes after -
• Switch on
• Firing a flash,
• Activating the shutter release
• Switching off the camera’s exposure metering system.
If the flash is manually switched on again, the last settings prior to the automatic

switch off are retained and immediately available. The flash unit is reactivated

merely by depressing any of the buttons or by touching the shutter release

(wake-up function).
The flash unit should always be turned off by the main switch ቱ if it is not going

to be used for an extended period!

A corresponding symbol

appears on

the display when the Auto-OFF function is

activated.

The flash unit switches to the energy-saving Standby mode when it is not in use

for more than 1 or 10 minutes, depending on the setting. It is reactivated by

depressing any button or by touching the shutter release (wake-up function).

• Press the

button repeatedly until „Select“

appears on the display.

• Select the „Standby“ menu option by pressing the

and

be highlighted.

function will be activated after 10 minutes.

– When „Standby 1 min“ is displayed, the Auto OFF

– When „Standby OFF“ is displayed, the Auto OFF function is deactivated.

The setting takes effect immediately.

• Press the button

repeatedly until the screen is reset to its normal state. If

the button

is not pressed, the display is automatically reset to its normal

state after about 5 seconds.
