9.7 Shooting format adjustment (S Zoom)
Certain types of digital cameras allow the display for the position of the main
reflector to be adjusted to chip-format (dimensions of the recording module)
using the Zoom Size function („S Zoom“).
Setting procedure
• actuate the shutter release in order to
transfer data from the flash unit to the
camera.
• repeatedly press button combination
„Select“ until „Zoom“ appears in the
display and „S“ flashes.
• the required settings can be applied
using the + and — buttons.
– when „S On“ is displayed the
Zoom-Size function is activated.
– when „S Off“ is displayed the
Zoom-Size function is deactivated.
The setting takes effect immediately.
After about 5 seconds the display stops flashing and the setting is saved auto-
matically.
„S“ is shown in the display following activation of the Zoom-Size function.
The Zoom size function cannot be set with cameras which do not support
shooting format adjustment!
10 Flash techniques
10.1 Bounce flash
Bounce flash illuminates the subject more softly and reduces dense shadows. It
also reduces the drop in light from foreground to background that occurs for
physical reasons.
The main reflector of the flash unit can be swivelled horizontally and tilted
vertically for bounce flash. To do this, depress the reflector unlocking button
and tilt the reflector . To avoid colour cast in your shots, the reflective surface
should be colour-neutral or white.
The main reflector is not locked in place in any swivelled positions other
than 0°.
When tilting the main reflector vertically, make sure that it is turned
through an angle that is wide enough to prevent direct light from falling
on the subject. For this reason the reflector should be tilted at least as far
as the 60° lock-in position. Flash ranges do not appear on the display
when the main reflector is turned! When the reflector head is tilted, the
main reflector is moved to a position of 70 mm in order to prevent the
subject from being additionally illuminated by dispersed light. The range
and position of the main reflector is not displayed.
