Mode Selector Dial
The Mode Selector Dial (24) on the Vari Sensor Module allows you to set
Cactus KF-36 for manual operation or automatic operation with four different
f-stops on your camera lens. This provides you with a means for controlling the
depth of field in your photographs. Because the four f-stops vary with the
speed of the film you are using, each automatic mode is assigned a color.
The Mode Selector Dial may be set to any one of the following four auto
positions:
YELLOW: Utilizes the widest lens opening for relatively shallow depth of field
and provides greatest automatic operating range. Automatic
operating range with Zoom / Bounce Head in NORM position is
6-60 feet (1.8 – 18.3 meters).
RED: Utilizes a medium lens opening for somewhat more depth of field.
The automatic operating range is shortened accordingly.
Automatic operating range with Head in NORM position: 5-30 feet
(1.5 – 9.1 meters).
BLUE: Utilizes a smaller lens opening for greater depth of field. Automatic
operating range with Head in NORM position: 2-15 feet (0.7 – 4.4
meters).
PURPLE: Utilizes the smallest lens opening for maximum depth of field.
Automatic operating range with Head in NORM position: 2-11 feet
(0.7 – 3.3 meters).
For operating details, see section “Shooting Automatically” (page 10) and the
chart of Automatic f-stops and Corresponding Ranges (page 21).
In addition to the four auto positions, the Mode Selector Dial has a manual
position “M”. When set in this position, your flash unit will provide maximum
light output regardless of the flash-to-subject distance. Operating details are
given in the “Shooting Manually” section of these instructions (page 14).
To handle special situation, such as fill-in flash, multiple flash set-ups or for
freezing high-speed action, the Cactus KF-36 features a variable power
system. With this system, you can reduce the light output from full power to
1/2, 1/4 or 1/16 power by setting the Mode Selector Dial in the corresponding
marked position. For operating details, refer to the “Vari-Power” portion of the
“Shooting Manually” section (page 15).
