5.1 Display of the flash mode

The flash mode set appears in the display. Depending on the camera model or

camera group (see Table 1), different displays are possible in this connection for

the various TTL flash modes supported (for example, , BL, ,

BL) and the manual flash mode M, see 7).

5.2 Range display

When using cameras from Groups B, C, D and E and a lens with CPU, the ran-

ge is indicated in the display. For this a data exchange must have occurred bet-

ween the camera and flash unit, for example by tapping the shutter release. The

range can be displayed either in metres (m) or feet (ft) - see 9.7.

There is no range display with cameras from Group A, or

- when using lenses without CPU (e.g. manual focus lens).

- when the reflector head is tilted out of its normal position (upwards,

downwards or sideways).

- the flash unit is working in remote flash operation (slave SL).

Range display in TTL flash modes

In the TTL flash modes ( , BL, , BL; see 7.1) the value for the

maximum range of the flash unit is displayed. The value indicated relates to

subjects with a reflection factor of 25%, which applies to most photographic

situations. Strong deviations from this reflection factor, as in the case of highly

reflective or poorly reflective subjects, may affect the flash range of the flash

unit.

The subject ought to be in the area of approximately 40% to 70% of the value

displayed. This will give the automatic exposure control sufficient scope for com-

pensation. To avoid overexposure, the minimum distance should be no less than

10% of the indicated value! Adjustment to the photographic situation at hand

can be achieved by, for example, changing the aperture of the setting on the

lens.

Range display in manual flash mode M

In manual flash mode M, the distance that must be maintained from the subject

for correct flash exposure is indicated. Adjustment to the photographic situation

at hand can be achieved by, for example, changing the aperture setting on the

lens or selecting a manual partial light output level (see 7.2).

Exceeding the display range

The flash unit can indicate flash ranges of up to 199 m or 199 ft. This display

range can be exceeded in the case of high ISO values (e.g., ISO 6400) and lar-

ge aperture openings. An arrow or triangle after the distance value indicates

that the display range has been exceeded.

5.3 „FEE“ error display

On some camera models and/or some camera modes (for example, program

„P“, vari-programs, automatic aperture S), it is necessary to set the aperture

ring of the lens to the maximum f-number. Otherwise the error message „FEE“

will appear on the flash unit or camera and the camera shutter release will be

blocked!

Some camera models do not support the manual flash mode M in the camera

mode program P and the vari- or subject programs. If the flash mode M is selec-

ted in these camera modes, „FEE“ appears in the display as a warning and the

camera release is locked.

If this occurs, check the settings on the camera and/or the lens settings (see the

camera’s operating instructions).

5.4 Underexposure warning „EV“

In certain modes („P“ and „A“, for example) some Group C, D and E cameras

(see Table 1) respond to an underexposed flash shot with a warning on the

display of the flash unit, indicating the amount of underexposure in f-stops (see

the camera’s operating instructions).

If the correct exposure indication „OK“ ብ does not light up on the flash unit

after a flash shot is taken, or if the flash symbol blinks in the camera viewfinder,
