6 Flash parameters (Parameter menu)

For the flash unit to operate correctly, various flash parameters such as the zoom

position of the main reflector, aperture, ISO light sensitivity, etc. have to be adju-

sted to match the camera.

For this automatic data transfer to occur, the flash unit has to be mounted on the

camera, and both devices have to be switched on. In addition, a data exchange

between the camera and flash unit has to be initiated, for which you simply brie-

fly press the shutter release. The maximum range as per the current flash parame-

ters is shown on the display.

6.1 Setting procedure for the flash parameters

When a button is pressed for the first time, the LC display is illuminated.

Depending on the flash mode set, various flash parameters are shown in the

menu: For cameras with digital data transfer, the flash parameters for aperture

(F), lens focal length (Zoom), and light sensitivity (ISO) are automatically set on

the flash unit. The flash parameters for aperture (F) and light sensitivity (ISO)

cannot be changed.

• Press the „Para“ button (Parameters) until the desired flash parameter (see

below) appears on the LC display.

The following parameters are available:

☞

• Set the desired value using the +/— buttons. The setting takes effect immedia-

tely.

• Press the „Return“ button to change the LC 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.

Depending on the system, the aperture setting will not be shown on the

display of the flash!

6.2 Main reflector position (Zoom)

If there is no digital data transfer between the camera and flash unit, the reflector

positions

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

24 x 36) can be set manually.

MZoom will then appear in the LC display.

the normal view after about 5 seconds.

tor positions are adjusted automatically.

6.3 Flash exposure correction (EV)

contrast between the subject and background. Corrections from -3 f-stops (EV) to

+3 f-stops (EV) can be made, in 1/3 increments (also see 10.5).
