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 acti-
vated.

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

Note that the flash unit is not automatically switched off in Remote Slave Mode.
