ķ
The reflector position is not automatically adjusted to the current zoom posi-
tion of the lens.
• The camera does not transfer data to the flash unit
• There is no exchange of data between the flash unit and the camera.
Tap the camera’s shutter release.
• The flash unit is set to manual zoom setting “MZoom”.
• The main reflector is swivelled out of its locked normal position.
• The wide-angle diffuser folds out from the main reflector.
• A Mecabounce is mounted in front of the main reflector.
The indicator for the zoom position of the main reflector is blinking
on display panel
• Warning of shadowing on the edge of the image: the focal length set on the
camera lens (converted to the 35 mm format, 24x36) is shorter than the
adjusted zoom position of the main reflector.
The setting for manual TTL flash exposure correction has no effect.
• The camera does not support manual TTL flash exposure correction on the
flash unit.
Automatic switching to the flash sync speed fails to occur.
• The camera has a between-the-lens shutter (as do most compact cameras),
Switching to sync speed is therefore unnecessary.
• The flash unit works with high-speed synchronisation (FP or HSS).
Switching to sync speed does not occur in the process.
• The camera operates with shutter speeds that are slower than the flash sync
speed. Depending on the camera mode, there is no switch to flash sync speed
(see the camera’s operating instructions).
The shots have shadows in the bottom of the image.
• Because of parallax error between lens and flash unit, close-up shots may not,
depending on the focal length at the bottom of the image, be fully illuminated.
Tilt the main reflector downwards or turn the wide-angle diffuser in front of
the reflector.
The shots are too dark.
• The subject is beyond the range of the flash unit.
Note: Using bounce flash reduces the range of the flash unit.
• The subject contains very bright or highly reflective areas.
The metering system of the camera or flash unit is deceived as a result.
Set a positive manual flash exposure correction, e.g., +1 EV.
The shots are too bright.
• In close-up shots, overexposure (shots that are too bright) may result if the
shutter speed is faster than the flash sync speed. The minimum distance from
the subject should be at least 10% of the maximum flash range indicated on
the display.
