Ex-Zoom mode
(extended zoom)
The Ex-Zoom mode can only be used with system cameras that are capable of
exchanging data via the SCA 3000 adapter.
This mode was created for professional use during reporting work in dense
crowds. In the extended zoom mode, the flashgun’s zoom reflector position is
automatically adjusted one increment further towards a wider angle in relation to
the focal length of the camera lens, to guarantee wider coverage.
Example: Focal length of camera lens 50 mm; zoom reflector setting 35 mm
The flashgun’s larger angle of coverage provides a higher safety margin for
perfect lighting of the subject. In normal operation, the Ex-Zoom mode produces
a softer illumination of the subject because more light is reflected back from the
walls and ceiling.
Setting procedure for the Ex-Zoom mode:
• Switch off the flashgun with the main switch
for approx. 5 seconds.
• Hold down the zoom button
on the flashgun.
• Switch on the flashgun with the main switch
.
• Release the zoom button
.
• Procede i
n the same sequence
to
switch off
the ex-zoom mode.

Pull-out/push-in wide-angle diffuser
Pull out the wide-angle diffuser
under the main reflector, all the way to the
front. Then release it. This causes the main reflector to automatically advance to
zoom position 20 mm. The wide-angle diffuser automatically folds up, and the
distances and zoom value on the LC display are modified accordingly.
To push in the wide-angle diffuser, press on the left and right-hand guide rails of
the black guide plate. The wide-angle diffuser will fold down and can then be
pushed in completely.
