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 set-
ting the correction factor, the distance shown in the display can change 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 aperture
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.
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, various special functions are available. For
this purpose, data exchange must first occur between the flash unit and camera
to access and set the special functions, for example by tapping the shutter
release. Accessing the individual special functions is achieved with the button
„Select“, that is to say, the buttons ( - ) or ( + ) must be pressed simultaneously.
The accompanying special functions and settings 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 dif-
fuser
, the illumination widens to 18 mm.
Auto zoom
The zoom position of the main 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. After the flash unit has been switched on, „Zoom“ and the cur-
rent zoom position of the main reflector
are shown in the display.
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.).
Manual zoom mode
The zoom position of the main reflector must be adjusted manually to the lens
focal length when used with a camera that doesnít transmit the data related to
