7.10 Modelling Light (ML)

The modelling light is a high-frequency stroboscopic flash. It creates the impres-
sion of a semi-permanent light for a duration of about 3 seconds. The modelling
light enables the user to assess light distribution and the formation of shadows
before taking pictures.
• The modelling light is activated when „ML ON“ is displayed.
• The modelling light is deactivated when „ML OFF“ is displayed.
Setting procedure:

• Press the

button repeatedly until „Select“

appears on the display.

• Select the menu option „ML“ by pressing the

and

keys. The selected menu option will be

highlighted.

• Confirm the selection of the special function by pres-

sing the

button.

• Select the desired setting with the

and

keys. The setting takes effect immediately.

• Press the button

repeatedly until the screen is

reset to its normal state. If the button

is not pres-

sed, the display is automatically reset to its normal
view after about 5 seconds.

Once the modelling light function is activa-
ted, the symbol

is displayed on the

flash-ready indicator ቲ or the manual firing
button. The modelling light is activated when
the manual firing button ቲ is pressed.

Sel

When the flash unit functions as master in the cordless remote system, the
activation of the modelling light also activates the modelling light of slave
flash units (see 19.4).

The secondary reflector ቪ is not supported by the modelling light function!

7.11 Auto OFF Function (Standby)

To save battery power and prevent inadvertent battery discharge, the flash unit is
factory-set to automatically switch over to standby mode, while flash readiness
and the LC display are switched off about 10 minutes after -
• Switch on
• Firing a flash,
• Activating the shutter release
• Switching off the camera’s exposure metering system.
If the flash is manually switched on again, the last settings prior to the automatic
switch off are retained and immediately available. The flash unit is reactivated
merely by depressing any of the buttons or by touching the shutter release
(wake-up function).
The flash unit should always be turned off by the main switch ቱ if it is not going
to be used for an extended period!
A corresponding symbol

appears on the

display when the Auto-OFF function is acti-
vated.
The flash unit switches to the energy-saving Standby mode when it is not in use
for more than 1 or 10 minutes, depending on the setting. It is reactivated by
depressing any button or by touching the shutter release (wake-up function).
