Fig. 26: Exposure o.k.
The correct exposure indicator („o.k.“)
lights up only when the frame will be,
or was, correctly exposed in the auto and TTL mode.
In this manner it is possible to manually trigger a test flash while in auto mode so
that the correct aperture can be established beforehand. This is particularly
valuable with bounced flash when reflection conditions are difficult to judge.

The test flash is triggered with the manual firing button
(fig. 26).
If the exposure o.k. indicator
remains dark after the test flash was fired, then
adjust the next larger aperture (smaller f-number) or diminish the distance to the
reflection surface or subject, and repeat the test flash.
The f-stop established in this manner must also be set on the camera.
To trigger a test flash, hold the camera and flashgun in the same
manner as for the actual shot.
This facility can also be used with TTL mode without having to produce test expo-
sures. The flashgun is adjusted to auto mode, and the correct aperture is then
determined with a test flash in the previously described manner. The established
aperture is transferred to the camera, and the flashgun is then readjusted to TTL
mode.
This procedure is relatively accurate with lenses of medium focal length of between
28 mm and 85 mm. But in borderline cases underexposure may occur with
subsequent TTL exposure.

13. The zoom reflector
Pull-out/push-in wide-angle diffuser
Pull out the wide-angle diffuser
under the main reflector, all the way to the
front. Then release it. This causes the main reflector to automatically advance to
zoom position 20 mm. The wide-angle diffuser automatically folds up, and the
distances and zoom value on the LC display are modified accordingly.
To push in the wide-angle diffuser, press on the left and right-hand guide rails of
the black guide plate. The wide-angle diffuser will fold down and can then be
pushed in completely.
