Please note:
• The two close-up range positions result in illuminated
areas at different distances. In the 0° position, a test
photograph, for example, should be taken to check
whether there is any shadowing caused by the lens.
• Indirect flashes with the 90° position illuminate the
subject more softly and reduce dense shadows.
This also reduces the light loss from the foreground to
background that occurs for physical reasons.
• When tilting the main flash body, make sure that it
snaps into place in the 90° position to prevent direct
light from falling on the subject from the reflector.
• To avoid colour casts in your shots, the reflective
surface should be colour-neutral or white.

Using the integrated wide-angle diffuser / telephoto
lens cover
The wide-angle diffuser and the telephoto lens cover
change the beam angle of the flash unit. The wide-angle
diffuser enlarges it so that shots with focal lengths up to
24mm
1)
are also illuminated uniformly.
This requires a reduction of the guide number and hen-
ce the range as well. By contrast, the telephoto lens
cover bundles the light cone for focal lengths of 85mm
1)
and more, increases the guide number and hence
increases the range.

Wide-angle diffuser
When not in use, the integrated wide-angle diffuser
is pushed into the body of the flash unit below the
reflector cover.
• Pull the diffuser vertically out of the flash body and
allow it to fold onto the reflector cover of the flash
unit.
The diffuser is held in position by spring force.
• To remove it, proceed in the reverse order.
