8.2 Flash bracketing (FB)

A series of flash exposures (flash bracketing FB) can be carried out in the

flash modes TTL and auto A flash modes. A flash bracketing series consists of

three successive flash shots with different flash exposure correction values.

When setting a flash bracketing series, FB and the correction value are

shown in the display. The possible correction values range from 1/3 to 3

apertures in one-third aperture increments.

With the display “FB 0” the flash bracketing series is deactivated.

• The first shot is taken without a correction value. In the display, “FB1” is

shown in addition.

• The second shot is taken with a minus correction. In the display, “FB2” and

the minus correction value (EV) are shown in addition.

• The third shot is taken with a plus correction. In the display, “FB3” and the

plus correction value (EV) are shown in addition.

• After the third shot the flash bracketing series is automatically deleted. The

“FB” in the display disappears.

Flash bracketing in TTL flash mode

A flash bracketing series in TTL flash mode is only possible if the flash unit is

fitted with a suitable adapter from the SCA 3002 system and the camera

supports the setting of a manual flash exposure correction on the flash unit

(see operating instructions of the camera and SCA adapter)! Otherwise the

shots are taken without correction value!

Flash bracketing mode in automatic flash mode A

For a flash bracketing series in automatic flash mode A, it is sufficient if the

flash unit is equipped with the standard foot 301.

With some camera types the auto flash mode A is not possible for

technical reasons, if the flash unit is equipped with an adapter of the

SCA 3002 system (see operating instructions of the camera and SCA

adapter)! In this case use the standard foot 301 in place of the SCA

adapter!

Setting procedure see cap. 8.

8.3 Synchronisation on the 2nd curtain (REAR)

With normal synchronisation the flash unit is triggered at the beginning of

the shutter interval (synchronisation on the 1st curtain). This is the standard

mode and is performed by all cameras.

When operating with an SCA adapter many cameras support synchronisa-

tion on the 2nd curtain (REAR, 2nd curtain). Here the flash unit is triggered

at the end of the shutter interval. In the case of long shutter intervals (>1/30s)

and moving light sources, this creates a “more natural” impression of the

shooting situation. The light traces then streak in the shot behind the light

source. The setting is made either on the camera or on the flash unit. For

more details, see the operating instructions of the camera and SCA adapter.

• When set to “REAR ON”, the synchronisation occurs on the 2nd curtain.

• When set to “REAR OFF”, the normal synchronisation is set.

The REAR function can only be selected and set when operating a sui-

table camera and an SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 system (see

operating instructions of the camera and SCA adapter)!

Setting procedure see cap. 8.

8.4 Extended zoom mode (zoom ext)

The extended zoom mode reduces the focal length of the reflector by one

increment as compared to the focal length of the camera lens. This results in

a wider illumination and additional diffused light (reflections) in rooms,

which, in turn, produces a softer flash illumination.

Example:

The focal length of the camera lens is 50 mm. In extended zoom mode the

flash unit adjusts the reflector position to 35 mm. In the display 50 mm conti-

nues to be shown.

• “Ext ON” in the display indicates that the extended zoom mode is activa-

ted.

• “Ext OFF” in the display indicates that the extended zoom mode is deacti-

vated.
