Manual zoom mode

In the case of cameras from Group A or when using a lens without CPU (for

example, manual focus lens), the zoom position of the main reflector ቫ must be

adjusted manually to the lens focal length. In this case auto-zoom mode is not

possible! After switching on the flash unit, „Zoom“ appears in the display and

the current zoom position of the main reflector ቫ appears.

Setting procedure

• Press button combination „Select“ until „Zoom“ appears flashing next to the

zoom position (mm).

• Apply the setting desired with the buttons ( + ) and ( - ). The flashing display

changes to „M.Zoom“ for manual zoom mode. The following zoom positions

are possible for the main reflector:

24 - 28 - 35 - 50 - 70 - 85 - 105 mm (35 mm format).

The setting takes effect immediately. After about 5 seconds the display stops

flashing and the setting is saved automatically.

When the camera transmits the lens focal length to the flash unit and a

manual zoom setting results in the shot not being completely lit by the

main reflector (for example, spot effect), the display of the zoom position

of the main reflector flashes as a warning!

Tip:

If you do not necessarily need the full guide number and maximum flash range

of the flash unit, you can leave the zoom reflector at the position for the shortest

focal length of the zoom lens. This will provide full light coverage of the picture

and eliminate the need to continually adjust it to the focal length of the lens.

Example:

You use a zoom lens with a focal length range of 35 mm to 105 mm. In this

case, you set the position of the main reflector of the flash unit to 35 mm.

Resetting to auto-zoom

• Touch the shutter release to begin a data transfer between the flash unit and

the camera.

• Press the button combination „Select“ until „M.Zoom“ appears flashing next to

the zoom position (mm).

• Press the button ( + ) until the 105 mm position has been exceeded. The flas-

hing display „M.Zoom“ changes to „Zoom“ (= auto-zoom mode) and the

zoom position of the main reflector ቫ is automatically adjusted to the lens

focal length. The setting takes effect immediately. After about 5 seconds the

display stops flashing and the setting is saved automatically.

The return from manual zoom mode to auto-zoom mode also occurs if

the flash unit is switched on again with the main switch ቢ.

Wide-angle diffuser

With the wide angle diffuser ቩ, focal lengths of 18 mm or more can be illumi-

nated (35 mm format).

Pull the wide-angle diffuser ቩ out from the main reflector as far as it will go,

and then release it. The wide-angle diffuser ቩ automatically folds downwards.

The main reflector ቫ automatically moves to the required position. The distance

readings and the zoom value are corrected to 18 mm on the display panel.

To insert the wide-angle diffuser ቩ, turn it upwards 90° and push it all the way

in.

Mecabounce 58-90

If the Mecabounce 58-90 (optional accessories, see 17) is fitted to the main

reflector j of the flash unit, the main reflector is automatically guided to the posi-

tion required. The distance data and zoom factor are corrected to 16 mm.

9.2 Remote slave flash mode ( )

The flash unit supports the wireless Nikon remote system in slave flash mode

and is compatible with the Nikon system „Advanced Wireless Lighting“. Here
