11.1 RAPID mode
In flash modes A and TTL, the recycling times
depend on how much light is needed for the

RAPID function can be switched on in the A

recommended especially in cases where fast
recycling times are more important and maxi-

small spaces. However, the guide number is

25 (at ISO 100 zoom 35).
