6 Motor zoom main reflector
The flash unit motor zoom main reflector
can illuminate lens focal lengths from
24mm (135 format).

ser
ቪ this value is extended to 12mm.
Auto zoom
The zoom position of the main reflector is
automatically adjusted to the lens focal
length when the flash unit is used with a
camera that transmits the data related to
the lens focal length.
Automatic adjustment does not occur
when the main reflector is pivoted, the
wide-angle diffuser
ቪ is extended or a
Mecabounce (accessory) is attached.
Adjustment is automatic for lens focal
lengths from 24mm (135 format).
When the information on the image pro-
cessing chip of the camera is transferred
to the camera, the motor zoom main
reflector is automatically guided to the
correct position. If the information on the
image processing chip of the camera is
not transferred, the shot may be illumina-
ted more than necessary.
The LED button of the mode set flashes
as a warning if the shot cannot be com-
pletely illuminated. In such a scenario,
use the wide-angle diffuser
ቪ.

Automatic adjustment of the motor
zoom main reflector cannot occur when
the wide-angle diffuser is in use.
