WIDE PANEL
This flashgun is equipped with a built-in wide panel,
which can provide an ultra wide 17mm angle of
coverage. Slide out the wide panel and catch light
panel and flip it down to cover the flash’s head. (Be
careful to slide the panels out smoothly.) Then put the
catch light panel back in its place. The coverage angle
setting of the flash will be set to 17mm automatically.
◆
If the built-in wide panel comes off accidentally, the
ZOOM
button will not function. In this case please
contact the store where the flash was purchased or
a Sigma service station.
LCD PANEL ILLUMINATION
When you press the LIGHT button, the LCD panel will illuminate for about 8 seconds. The illumination
stays on longer than 8 seconds if you press the LIGHT button once again.
ETTL (TTL) AUTO FLASH
In the TTL AUTO Mode, the camera will control the amount of flash lighting to get the appropriate
exposure for the subject.

Note
: When the flash is fully charged, the ready light in the
viewfinder appears.

When the camera receives the appropriate exposure, the ETTL (TTL) mark on the LCD panel will
appear for 5 seconds. If this indication does not appear, the flash illumination is not sufficent for
that situation. Please re-take the picture at a closer distance.
◆
The AF Auxiliary Light will turn on automatically as you focus on a dark area. Note: Effective

flash.

Shutter Speed Priority Setting
By selecting the Tv mode of the camera, you can set the shutter speed from 30sec. to 1/X sync speed.
When you set the desired shutter speed, the camera will select the appropriate aperture value for the
scene. If the subject is too light or too dark, the aperture value indicator will blink and show the limit
