6 Motor zoom main reflector

The flash unit motor zoom main reflector
can illuminate lens focal lengths from
24mm (135 format).
By using the integrated wide-angle diffu-
ser this value is extended to 12mm.
Auto zoom
The zoom position of the main reflector is auto-
matically adjusted to the lens focal length when
the flash unit is used with a camera that trans-
mits the data related to the lens focal length.
Automatic adjustment does not occur
when the main reflector is pivoted, the
wide-angle diffuser is extended or a
Mecabounce (accessory) is attached.
Adjustment is automatic for lens focal
lengths from 24mm.
If a focal length of under 24mm is
employed, the LED button of the intended
mode flashes to warn that the shot can-
not be exposed completely. In such a
scenario, use the wide-angle diffuser .
