8 Motor Zoom Reflector
The zoom position of the main reflector can be adjusted for focal lengths of at
least 24 mm (35 mm format). For lenses with focal lengths of 12 mm or more,
the integrated wide-angle diffuser ባ can be positioned over the main reflector
ቨ.
The following zoom positions are available:
24 - 28 - 35 - 50 - 70 - 85 - 105 (focal lengths in mm)
(corresponding to 35 mm format)
When using the wide-angle diffuser ባ the main reflector ቨ is automati-
cally moved to the 24 mm position! Because of the wide-angle diffuser,
12 mm appears on the display (see 9).
Automatic zoom adjustment
This causes the zoom position of the main mirror ቨ to automatically adjust to
the lens focal length. "AZoom" and the mirror position will then appear on the
flash unit's display panel.
Manual adjustment of the zoom position with AZoom
The zoom position of the main reflector ቨ can also be changed when the flash
unit is used with a camera capable of data transmission, in order to achieve
special lighting effects (such as hot-spot, etc.). See also 6.2.
Once saved, „MZoom“ will be indicated on the display.
Resetting to AZoom mode
• Touch the shutter release to begin a data transfer between the flash unit and
the camera.
• Continue changing the zoom position until AZoom appears on the display.

Wide-angle diffuser
With the wide angle diffuser ባ, focal lengths of 12 mm or more can be illumi-
nated (35 mm format).
Pull the wide-angle diffuser ባ out from the main
reflector ቨ as far as it will go, and then release it. The
wide-angle diffuser automatically folds downwards.
The main reflector automatically moves to the required
position. The distance readings and the zoom value
are corrected to 12 mm on the display panel.
The main reflector’s position cannot be changed by hand.
To insert the wide-angle diffuser ባ, turn it upwards 90° and push it all the way
in.
Mecabounce 58-90
If the Mecabounce 58-90 (optional accessories, see 21) is fitted to the main
reflector
ቫ of the flash unit, the main reflector is automatically guided to the
position required. The distance data and zoom factor are corrected to 16 mm.
The automatic adjustment of the motor-zoom main reflector ቫ is not
activated if the Mecabounce is in use.
The simultaneous use of the wide-angle diffuser and the Mecabounce is
not possible. ☞
