Press the button — or + until „EV“ without a
correction factor is shown. The setting takes
effect immediately. After about 5 seconds the
display stops flashing and the setting is
saved automatically. After saving the apertu-
re factor appears once again.
Manual flash exposure correction is only possible in TTL flash mode if the
camera supports this function (consult the camera’s operating instruc-
tions)! If the camera does not support this function, the adjusted correc-
tion will have no effect.
For some camera models, the manual flash exposure corrections must be adju-
sted on the camera. If this is the case, no correction value will appear on the
flash unit display.
After the shot, remember to cancel the TTL flash exposure correction in the
camera!
Attention: Strongly reflecting objects in the motif can have a negative impact
on the camera’s automatic exposure. The photograph will be
underexposed. Remove reflecting objects or set a positive
correction value.

9 Special functions („Select“)
Depending on the camera model or camera group, various special functions
are available. For this purpose, data exchange must first occur between the
flash unit and camera to access and set the special functions, for example by
tapping the shutter release.
Accessing the individual special functions is achieved
with the button „Select“, that is to say, the buttons —
and + must be pressed simultaneously. The accompa-
nying special functions and settings desired are then
carried out individually with the button — or +.
The setting must occur immediately after acces-
sing the special functions since otherwise the flash unit automatically
switches back to normal flash operation after a few seconds!
9.1 Motor zoom main reflector („Zoom“)
The motor zoom main reflector ቫ of the flash unit can illuminate lens angles
from 24 mm (35 mm format): Thanks to the use of the integrated wide-angle
diffuser
ቩ, the illumination widens to 12 mm.
Auto zoom
The zoom position of the main reflector
ቫ is automatically adjusted to the lens
focal length when the flash unit is used with a camera that transmits the data rela-
ted to the lens focal length. After the flash unit has been switched on, „Zoom“ and
the current zoom position of the main reflector
ቫ are shown in the display.
Automatic adjustment occurs for lens focal lengths from 24 mm. If a focal length
of less than 24 mm is used, „24“ flashes in the display as a warning that the
shot cannot be completely lit.
The automatic adjustment will not be activated if the main reflector is
swivelled, if the wide-angle diffuser
ቩ is pulled out, or a Mecabounce
(accessory) is mounted.
