Pressing the camera's AE-L/AF-L button (Nikon) or FE button (Canon - the description may vary
from camera to camera; see camera operating manual) causes the flash unit to fire a test flash.
The stored metering value, for example "EL" or "FEL", is then displayed in the camera
viewfinder.
The camera uses the reflected light of the test flash to determine the light output required for
the subsequent exposure.
The actual main subject can then be
AF sensor/metering
window. When the shutter release is pressed, the picture will be exposed with the previously
defined light output of the flash unit!
In Canon cameras the flash exposure memory FE is not supported during the green
fully-automatic programme, the Vari programme and the subject programmes!

7 Swivel reflector
Flash unit's motor zoom swivel reflector
can illuminate lens focal lengths from 24 mm and up
(135 format).
By using the integrated wide-angle diffuser
this value is extended to 14 mm.
7.1 Auto zoom
The zoom position of the swivel reflector is automatically adjusted to the lens focal length
when the flash unit is used with a camera that transmits the data related to the lens focal
length.
Automatic adjustment does not occur when the wide-angle diffuser is extended.
