• The first shot is taken without a correc-

tion value. „FB 1“ will also appear on

the display.

• The second shot is taken with minus cor-

rection. „FB 2“ and the minus correction

value (EV) will also appear on the

display.

• The third shot is taken with plus correction. „FB 3“ and the plus correction

value (EV) will also appear on the display.

• After the third shot, the flash bracketing series is automatically deleted. „FB“

will disappear from the display.

When the flash bracketing series is set, the correction value is always
shown as a positive value!

Flash bracketing series in the TTL/P-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.

☞

Example:
The focal length of the camera lens is 50 mm. The extended zoom mode sets a

35 mm reflector position on the flash unit. However, 50 mm continues to be

shown on the display.
• When „Ext ON“ is displayed, the extended zoom mode is activated.
• When „Ext OFF“ is displayed, the extended zoom mode is deactivated.
Setting procedure:

• Press the

button repeatedly until „Select“

appears on the display.

• Select the menu option „ZoomExt“ by pressing the

and

keys. 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

keys. The setting takes effect immediately.

• 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.

Once the extended zoom mode is activated,

„EZoom“ will appear on the display next to

the focal length.

Depending on the system, the extended zoom mode is supported for lens
focal lengths of 28 mm or more (35mm format).
