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
coverage provides additional dispersed light
(reflections) inside rooms so that a softer
flash illumination is possible.

reflector position on the flash unit. However,
50 mm continues to be shown on the display.
