7.3 Flash Bracketing Series (FB)

A series of flash exposures (flash bracketing, FB) can be made in Automatic

Flash Mode. 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.

The camera does not enable flash bracketing to be set on the flash unit
in the TTL flash modes.

Setting procedure:

• Switch the flash unit to Automatic Flash Mode A (see

also 5.4)

• 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

and

buttons. The setting takes effect immediately.

• Press the button

repeatedly until the screen is

reset to its normal view. If the button

is not

pressed, the display is automatically reset to its nor-
mal view after about 5 seconds.

• The first shot is taken without a correction

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!

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.
