5 Operating modes (mode menu)

The flash unit supports with measuring preflash, automatic , manual

, and stroboscope modes .

Depending on the type of camera, other flash modes may be supported.

These flash operating modes can be selected and activated in the mode

menu following a data transfer with the camera. Depending on the

system, some camera models (depending on the camera's operating

mode) only support the TTL flash mode. Other flash modes (automatic A,

manual M etc.) cannot be selected or activated!

5.1 Adjusting procedure for flash operating modes

the normal view after about 5 seconds.

The flash parameters for ISO, aperture and lens focal length or mirror position

are set automatically, if the camera transfers the necessary data to the flash unit.

The range indicator on the display of the control unit matches the flash parame-

ters transferred from the camera.

If the camera does not transfer one or more flash parameters to the flash

unit, you will have to adjust these settings by hand (see 6).

5.2 TTL- flash mode with measuring preflash

The TTL flash mode with measuring preflash is a further development of the stan-

dard TTL flash mode of analogue cameras. During the shot and before the actual

exposure, one or more almost indiscernible preflashes are executed by the flash.

The light reflected by the preflash is evaluated by the camera. According to the

evaluation, the subsequent flash exposure will be adjusted by the camera to suit

the situation (see the camera's operating manual).

Depending on the camera model, the preflashes precede the main flash

by such a short interval that they practically cannot be distinguished from

the main flash! The preflashes do not contribute to the lighting of the shot.

Setting procedure:

• Press the „Mode“ button until „Mode“ flashes on the LC display.

• Set the flash mode using the UP ̆ and DOWN ̄ keys. The flash mode

you choose is then highlighted. The setting takes effect immediately.

• Press the „Return“ button to change the display back to the normal view.

If the „Return“ button is not pressed, the display will change back to the

normal view after about 5 seconds.

If the shot was properly lit, the correct exposure indication

ተ

will flash „OK“ for

about 3 seconds (see 13).
