Tip:
If you do not necessarily need the full guide number and maximum flash range
of the flash unit, you can leave the zoom reflector at the position for the shortest
focal length of the zoom lens. This will provide full light coverage of the picture
and eliminate the need to continually adjust it to the focal length of the lens.
Example:
You use a zoom lens with a focal length range of 35 mm to 105 mm. In this
case, you set the position of the main reflector of the flash unit to 35 mm.
Resetting to auto-zoom
• Touch the shutter release to begin a data transfer between the flash unit and
the camera.
• Press the button combination „Select“ until
„M.Zoom“ appears flashing next to the zoom
position (mm).
• Press the button + until the 105 mm posi-
tion has been exceeded. The flashing
display „M.Zoom“ changes to „Zoom“ (=
auto-zoom mode) and the zoom position
of the main reflector
ቫ is automatically
adjusted to the lens focal length.
The setting takes effect immediately.
After about 5 seconds the display stops flashing and the setting is saved auto-
matically.
The return from manual zoom mode to auto-zoom mode also occurs if
the flash unit is switched on again with the main switch
ቢ.

Wide-angle diffuser
With the wide angle diffuser
ቩ, focal lengths of
12 mm or more can be illuminated (35 mm format).
Pull the wide-angle diffuser
ቩ out from the main
reflector as far as it will go, and then release it. The
wide-angle diffuser
ቩ automatically folds down-
wards. The main reflector
ቫ automatically moves to
the required position. The distance readings and the zoom value are corrected
to 12 mm on the display panel.
The automatic adjustment of the motor-zoom main reflector
ቫ is not
activated if the wide-angle diffuser is in use.
To insert the wide-angle diffuser
ቩ, turn it upwards 90° and push it all the way
in.
Mecabounce 58-90
If the Mecabounce 58-90 (optional accessories, see 17) is fitted to the main
reflector j of the flash unit, the main reflector is automatically guided to the posi-
tion required. The distance data and zoom factor are corrected to 16 mm.
The automatic adjustment of the motor-zoom main reflector
ቫ is not
activated if the Mecabounce is in use.
The simultaneous use of the wide-angle diffuser and the Mecabounce is
not possible.
