9.6 Extended Zoom Mode („Ex“)
In extended zoom mode the zoom position of the main reflector ቫ is reduced to
one level below the focal length of the camera lens. The resulting expanded and
broader light coverage provides additional dispersed light (reflections) inside
rooms so that a softer flash illumination is possible.
Example:
The focal length of the camera lens is 50 mm. The extended zoom mode sets a
35 mm reflector position on the flash unit. However, 50 mm continues to be
shown on the display.
Setting procedure
• Press the button combination „Select“ until „Ex“ appears flashing. Apply the
setting desired with the buttons ( + ) and ( - ).
- When „Ex On“ is displayed, the extended zoom mode is activated.
- When „Ex OFF“ is displayed, the extended zoom mode is deactivated.
The setting takes effect immediately. After about five seconds the display stops
flashing and the setting is saved automatically. After activation of the extended
zoom mode „Ex“ appears in the display.
Depending on the system, the extended zoom mode is supported for lens
focal lengths of 28 mm or more (35mm format). The camera must be
equipped with a CPU lens and be able to transfer data on the lens focal
length to the flash unit.
9.7 Meter-feet changeover („m“ / „ft“)
The maximum flash range indicated by the flash unit’s display can either be
shown in metres or feet.
Setting procedure
• Press the button combination „Select“ until the only the distance dimension
„m“ or „ft“ flashes. Apply the setting desired with the buttons ( + ) and ( - ).
- When „m“ is displayed, the distance display is in metres.
☞
- When „ft“ is displayed, the distance display is in feet.
The setting takes effect immediately. After about five seconds, the display stops
flashing and the setting is saved automatically.
10 Flash techniques
10.1 Bounce flash
Bounce flash illuminates the subject more softly and reduces dense shadows. It
also reduces the drop in light from foreground to background that occurs for
physical reasons.
The main reflector ቫ of the flash unit can be swivelled horizontally and tilted
vertically for bounce flash. To avoid colour cast in your shots, the reflective sur-
face should be colour-neutral or white.
When tilting the main reflector ቫ vertically, make sure that it is turned
through an angle that is wide enough to prevent direct light from falling
on the subject. For this reason the reflector should be tilted at least as far
as the 60° lock-in position. Flash ranges do not appear on the display
when the main reflector is turned! When the reflector head is tilted, the
main reflector is moved to a position of greater/equal 70 mm in order to
prevent the subject from being additionally illuminated by dispersed light
. The range and position of the main reflector is not displayed.
10.2 Bounce flash with a reflector card
The use of bounce flash with the integrated reflector card ቨ can bring out high-
lights in the eyes of human subjects:
• Tilt the reflector head upwards by 90°.
• Pull the reflector card ቨ together with the wide-angle diffuser from above out
of the reflector head and forwards.
• Hold the reflector card ቨ and push the wide-angle diffuser ቩ back into the
reflector head.
