3. Automatic flash mode
29
To achieve a shallow depth-of-field (for instance for
portraiture) we recommend the auto aperture f/2,
whereas the auto aperture f/4 (extended depth-of-
field) should be adjusted for group shots where many
people are behind each other.
• Await flash readiness - The orange LED lights up.
The subject should be located within the
middle third of this distance range to give the
electronic control sufficient scope for com-
pensation should this be necessary.
There is a certain measure of overlap between the
individual working apertures. As a result of this
overlap it is always possible to place the subject
within the middle third of the range.
CAUTION with zoom lenses!
Due to their design they can cause a loss of
light in the order of up to one f-stop. Further-
more, the effective aperture can also vary,
depending upon the adjusted focal length. This
must be compensated by manually correcting
the aperture setting on the flashgun!
