Low-speed zoom lenses can significantly
curtail the range of the AF measuring
beam!
Some cameras support the AF measuring
beam
ቯ in the flash unit only with the
camera’s central AF sensor.
If a peripheral AF sensor is selected, then
the AF measuring beam
ቯ will not be
activated in the flash unit!
12 Triggering control
(auto-flash)
On some cameras the flash will not be
fired when the prevailing light is suffi-
cient for an exposure. When the camera
shutter release is depressed, no flash
exposure is triggered.
In various cameras the triggering control
only works in the full program mode or
„P“ program or must be activated on the
camera (see camera operating instruc-
tions).
13 Care and maintenance
Remove dust and grime with a soft dry
cloth or silicon-treated cloth. Do not use
cleaning agents as these may damage
the plastic parts.
