9.5 Extended Zoom Mode („Ex")

one level below the focal length of the camera lens. The resulting expanded and
broader light coverage provides additional dispersed light (reflections) inside
rooms so that a softer flash illumination is possible.

35 mm reflector position on the flash unit. However, 50 mm continues to be
