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
• repeatedly press button combination
„Select“ until „Zoom“ appears in the
display and „Ex“ flashes.
• The required settings can be applied
using the + and — buttons.
– When „Ex On“ is displayed, the exten-
ded 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 automati-
cally. 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.
9.8 Synchronisation on the second curtain (REAR)
Several cameras feature second curtain synchronisation (see 11.3).
Depending on its operating mode, the camera sets shutter speeds slower than its
sync speed.
On some cameras the REAR function is not possible in certain operating modes
(e.g., certain vari- or subject programs, or with red eye reduction). In these
cases, the REAR mode cannot be selected and/or is automatically cancelled or
ignored (see camera’s operating instructions).
