9 Special functions

Depending on the camera model various spe-
cial 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.
The setting must occur immediately after
accessing the special functions since
otherwise the flash unit automatically
switches back to normal flash operation
after a few seconds!
9.1 Motor zoom reflector („Zoom")
The motor zoom 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 reflector is automa-
tically adjusted to the lens focal length when
the flash unit is used with a camera that
transmits the data related to the lens focal
length. After the flash unit has been switched
on, „Zoom" and the current zoom position of
the reflector are shown in the display.
Automatic adjustment occurs for lens focal
lengths from 24 mm.
The automatic adjustment will not be
activated if the reflector is swivelled, if the
wide-angle diffuser
Mecabounce (accessory) is mounted.
If so desired, the position of the 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 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 switching on the flash unit, „Zoom"
appears in the display and the current zoom
position of the reflector appears.
