9 Special functions („Select“)
Depending on the camera model, various special functions are available. For
this purpose, data exchange must first occur between the flash unit and camera
to access and set the special functions, for example by tapping the shutter
release.
Accessing the individual special functions is achieved
with the button „Select“, that is to say, the buttons – or
+ must be pressed simultaneously. The accompanying
special functions and settings desired are then carried
out individually with the button – or +.
The setting must occur immediately after acces-
sing the special functions since otherwise the
flash unit automatically switches back to normal
flash operation after a few seconds!
9.1 Motor zoom main reflector („Zoom“)
The motor zoom main reflector of the flash unit can illuminate lens angles
from 24 mm (35 mm format): Thanks to the use of the integrated wide-angle
diffuser , the illumination widens to 12 mm.
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 rela-
ted to the lens focal length. After the flash unit has been switched on, „Zoom“ and
the current zoom position of the main reflector
are shown in the display.
Automatic adjustment occurs for lens focal lengths from 24 mm. If a focal length
of less than 24 mm is used, „24“ flashes in the display as a warning that the
shot cannot be completely lit.
The automatic adjustment will not be activated if the main reflector is
swivelled, if the wide-angle diffuser is pulled out, or a Mecabounce
(accessory) is mounted.

If so desired, the position of the main reflector can be manually adjusted in
order to achieve particular lighting effects (such as spot effect etc.).
Manual zoom mode
The zoom position of the main reflector must be adjusted manually to the lens
focal length when used with a camera that doesnít transmit the data related to
the lens focal length. In this case auto-zoom mode is not possible! After swit-
ching on the flash unit, „Zoom“ appears in the display and the current zoom
position of the main reflector appears.
Setting procedure
• Press button combination „Select“ until „Zoom“
appears flashing next to the zoom position (mm).
• Apply the setting desired with the
buttons + and –.
The flashing display changes to „M.Zoom“
for manual zoom mode. The following zoom posi-
tions are possible for the main reflector:
24 - 28 - 35 - 50 - 70 - 85 - 105 mm
(35 mm format).
The setting takes effect immediately.
After about 5 seconds the display stops flashing and the setting is
saved automatically.
When the camera transmits the lens focal length to the flash unit and a
manual zoom setting results in the shot not being completely lit by the
main reflector (for example, spot effect), the display of the zoom position
of the main reflector flashes as a warning!
