7.3 Flash Bracketing Series (FB)
A series of flash exposures (flash bracketing, FB) can be made in Automatic
Flash Mode. A flash bracketing series consists of three successive flash shots with
different flash exposure correction values.
When a flash bracketing series is set, FB and the correction value appear on the
display. The possible correction values range from 1/3 to 3 apertures in one-
third aperture increments.
The camera does not enable flash bracketing to be set on the flash unit in
the TTL flash modes.
Setting procedure:
• Switch the flash unit to Automatic Flash Mode A (see also 5.4)
• Press the „SEL“ button repeatedly until „Select“ appears on the display.
• Select the menu option „FB“ by pressing the UP
̆ and DOWN ̄ buttons. The
selected menu option will be highlighted.
• Confirm the selection of the special function by pressing the „Set“ button.
• Select the desired setting with the UP
̆ and DOWN ̄ buttons. The setting

view. If the „Return“ button is not pressed, the display is automatically
reset to its normal view after about 5 seconds.
When „FB 0“ is displayed, the flash bracketing series is deactivated.
• The first shot is taken without a correction value. „FB 1“ will also appear on the display.
• The second shot is taken with minus correction. „FB 2“ and the minus correc-
tion value (EV) will also appear on the display.
• The third shot is taken with plus correction. „FB 3“ and the plus correction
value (EV) will also appear on the display.
• After the third shot, the flash bracketing series is automatically deleted. „FB“
will disappear from the display.
When the flash bracketing series is set, the correction value is always
shown as a positive value!
7.4 Extended Zoom Mode (Zoom Ext)
In the extended zoom mode, the focal length of the main reflector is reduced to
one level below the focal length of the camera lens. The resulting 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.
• When „Ext ON“ is displayed, the extended zoom mode is activated.
• When „Ext OFF“ is displayed, the extended zoom mode is deactivated.
Setting procedure:
• Press the „SEL“ button repeatedly until „Select“ appears on the display.
• Select the menu option „ZoomExt“ by pressing the UP
̆ and DOWN ̄ keys.
The selected menu option will be highlighted.
