In TTL flash modes, manual flash exposure correction factors of from -3 EV (f–stops)
to +3 EV (f-stops) can be adjusted on the flash unit in one-third increments.
Tip:
Dark subject against light background: positive correction factor. Light subject
against dark background: negative correction factor.
Exposure correction by means of alteration of the lens aperture setting is
impossible, since the camera’s automatic exposure program regards the
altered aperture setting as the normal working aperture setting. When
setting the correction factor, the distance shown in the display can chan-
ge and be adjusted to the correction factor (depending on the camera
model)!
Setting procedure
• Press button ( - ) or ( + ) until „EV“ flashes. Apply the setting wished with the
buttons ( + ) and ( - ):
Set a negative correction factor with the button ( - ) or a positive one with the
button ( + ).The setting takes effect immediately. After about 5 seconds the
display stops flashing and the setting is saved automatically. After saving,
„EV“ appears in the display with the correction value set in place of the aper-
ture factor.
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 aperture 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!
9 Special functions („Select“)
Depending on the camera model or camera group (see Table 1), various special
functions are available. For this purpose, data exchange must first occur bet-
ween the flash unit and camera to access and set the special functions, for
example by tapping the shutter release. Accessing the individual special func-
tions is achieved with the button „Select“, that is to say, the buttons ( - ) or ( + )
must be pressed simultaneously. The accompanying special functions and set-
tings desired are then carried out individually with the button ( - ) or ( + ).
The setting must occur immediately after accessing 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
of the flash unit can illuminate lens angles
from 24 mm (35 mm format): Thanks to the use of the integrated wide-angle
diffuser
, the illumination widens to 18 mm.
Auto zoom
When the flash unit is operated with a camera from Groups B, C, D or E and a
lens with CPU, the zoom position of the main reflector
adjusts automatically
to the lens focal length. After switching on the flash unit, „Zoom“ appears in the
display and the current zoom position of the main reflector
appears.
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.
If so desired, the position of the main reflector
can be manually adjusted in
order to achieve particular lighting effects (such as spot effect etc.).
