For the test flash, set up the slave unit (with
incorporated sensor) in the same manner as
for the subsequent shot.
10.3 Maximum flash range indication
The maximum flash range is indicated on the LC
display of the flash unit when in automatic A, ma-
nual M or EASY mode. For correct indication in
automatic A and manual M mode it is necessary
to manually adapt the flash parameters - aperture,
ISO and reflector status - to the corresponding ca-
mera settings when a wide-angle diffuser or tele-
photo attachment is being used or when working
without an attachment (see Chapter 9).
The maximum flash range indication can be
either in meters (m) or feet (ft) (see Chapter
11.2).
Maximum flash range indication in the auto flash
mode A and EASY MODE
The LC display of the flash unit indicates the maxi-
mum flash range. The indicated value relates to a
factor of 25% of light reflection by the subject,
which applies to most photographic situations.
Pronounced deviations from this reflection factor,
e.g. highly reflective or poorly reflecting objects,
can influence the maximum flash range of the
flash unit.
When shooting pictures, be sure to observe the
maximum flash range indicated on the flash unit’s
LC display. The subject should be within approx.
40% to 70% of the indicated value to give the elec-
tronic system sufficient leeway for compensation.
The minimum flash-to-subject distance should not
be less than 10% of the indicated value to avoid
overexposure. Adaptation to the given photogra-
phic situation is possible by changing the aperture
setting.
Maximum flash range indication in the manual
flash mode M
The LC display of the flash unit indicates the dis-
tance to be maintained for correct flash exposure
of the subject. Adaptation to the given photogra-
phic situation is achieved by changing the aper-
ture setting and selecting between full light output
and partial light output levels “P 1/1 to P 1/16”
(see Chapter 9.5).
