7 Motor zoom main reflector
The flash unit motor zoom main reflector
can illuminate lens focal lengths from
24mm (135 format).
By using the integrated wide-angle diffu-
ser
this value is extended to 12mm.
Auto zoom
When a flash unit is operated with a
camera from Group A, B or C and a
lens with CPU, the zoom position of the
main reflector adapts to the lens focal
length automatically.
Automatic adjustment does not occur
when the main reflector is pivoted, the
wide-angle diffuser
is extended or a
Mecabounce (accessory) is attached.
Adjustment is automatic for lens focal
lengths from 24mm.
If a focal length of under 24mm is
employed, the LED button of the intended
mode flashes to warn that the shot can-
not be exposed completely. In such a
scenario, use the wide-angle diffuser
.
7.1 Wide-angle diffuser
With the integrated wide-angle diffuser
, focal lengths from 12mm can be
exposed (135 format).
Flip the wide-angle diffuser
out of the
main reflector as far as it goes and let go.
It will fold down automatically.
The main reflector will be guided to the
required position automatically.
Automatic adjustment of the motor
zoom main reflector cannot occur when
the wide-angle diffuser is in use.
To set the wide-angle diffuser to 90°
flip it up and slide it in completely.
7.2 Mecabounce 52-90
When the Mecabounce (accessories, see
17) is mounted on the flash unit’s main
reflector, the main reflector is automati-
cally set in the required position.
Automatic adjustment of the motor
zoom main reflector is not possible
when the Mecabounce is in use.
The wide-angle diffuser and
Mecabounce cannot be used at the
same time.
