Automatic switch-off function / AUTO-OFF
To save battery power and prevent inadvertent
battery discharge the flash unit is factory-set to
switch over to standby mode (AUTO OFF) approx.
8 minutes after:
- switch-on,
- a setting procedure,
- firing a flash.
The flash readiness signal and the indications on
the LC display go out. After automatic switch-off
the last used settings are retained and instantly
available when the flash unit is switched on again.
The flash unit is reactivated merely by depression
of any key (wake-up function).
The flash unit should always be turned off by
its main switch if it is not going to be used
for an extended period of time.
The automatic switch-off function can be deacti-
vated whenever required (see Chapter 11.1).
3. Flash coverage and reflector
attachments
If there is no attachment in front of the reflector,
the flash unit provides full lighting coverage for
normal 24x36 mm shots with lenses as of 35 mm
focal length. If a wide-angle diffuser (identified
by W) is used the flash will cover the image angle
of a 24 mm lens. When positioning the telephoto
attachment (identified by T) in front of the reflector
the flash unit will fully illuminate shots taken with a
telephoto lens of 85 mm focal length and longer.
