7.2 Beep function (Beep)

The beep function allows the user to receive an acoustic signal for certain func-
tions of the flash unit. This allows the photographer to concentrate fully on the
subject and taking the picture, and not have to worry about any optical status
indicators.
The beep function signals when the flash is ready, when the correct flash expo-
sure has been reached, or when an error occurs.
Acoustic signals after the flash unit has been turned on:
• A short (about two seconds) uninterrupted beep signal after turning the flash
on indicates that the flash unit is ready.
Beep signals after taking a photograph:
• A short (about two seconds) uninterrupted beep signal directly after a picture
is taken indicates that the shot was exposed correctly and the flash is ready
again. If no beep signal sounds, then the shot was underexposed.
• A broken (— — —) beep signal directly after a shot indicates that the shot
was correctly exposed. The flash is only ready however after a second (about
two seconds) continuous beep.
