CONTROLS FUNCTIONS - DISPLAY INDICATIONS 

 

 

7.0 Lever selectors function 

 

Using the lever selectors, we set the operating parameters of the flash. 

The red MAIN left lever selector operates the control of the pilot light 

and the TTL auto flash exposure mode. 

The black INPUT right lever selector selects the active input of the flash. 

 

7.1 MAIN lever selector - Pilot light 

Pressing it for a short time the pilot light switches on sequentially at 

50%, then at 100% output power and finally turns off it. The pilot light 

switch on is signaled by the light up of the PL indicator light and by a 

single  beeping  sound  after  which  the  MAIN  control  selector  can  be 

released. 

 

7.2 MAIN lever selector - TTL mode 

Pressing for a long time, it allows the change from manual mode to TTL 

mode, both with synchro cable connection and with optical fiber. The 

activation of the TTL auto flash exposure mode is signaled by the light 

up of the TTL indicator light. At this action will be released immediately 

a first beeping sound and after about a couple of seconds will be issued 

a further one. At this second warning you can release the control lever. 

 

7.3 INPUT lever selector - Input mode

 

Pressing it for a short time selects input and connection mode that we 

intend  to  use:  synchro  cable  socket,  fiber-optic  cable  socket,  optical 
receiver  on  parabolic  reflector  for  slave  mode.  The  selected  input  is 

signaled by the light up of the respective indicator light SYN-OPT-SLV 

and by a single beeping sound after which the INPUT control selector 

can be released.
