11.4.1 Extended Zoom Mode
In extended zoom mode the zoom position of
the reflector is reduced to one level below
the focal length of the camera lens. The
resulting expanded and broader light covera-
ge provides additional dispersed light (reflec-
tions) inside rooms so that a softer flash illu-
mination is possible.
