j) The reflector position is not automatically adjusted to the current zoom posi-
tion of the lens.
• The camera is not transmitting any digital data to the flash unit.
• There is no exchange of data between the flash unit and the camera. Tap the
camera's shutter release.
k) The sign for the zoom position of the reflector blinks in the display
• Warning advice of shading on the edge of the picture: The focus of the lens
(converted to 35 mm - small picture format 24x36) set on the camera is smal-
ler than the zoom position set on the reflector.
l) The secondary reflector cannot be activated, or no flash is triggered.
• The secondary reflector does not support the stroboscopic, remote and model-
ling light (ML) flash modes. In these modes the secondary reflector cannot be
activated, or the secondary reflector does not trigger a flash.
• The main reflector is in its normal position or tilted downwards.
m) The setting for manual TTL flash exposure correction has no effect.
• The camera does not support manual TTL flash exposure correction on the flash
unit.
n) Automatic switching to the flash sync speed fails to occur.
• The camera has a between-the-lens shutter (as do most compact cameras),
Switching to sync speed is therefore unnecessary.
• The camera operates with FP high-speed synchronisation (camera setting). In
this case no switching to sync speed occurs.
• The camera operates with shutter speeds that are slower than the flash sync
speed. Depending on the camera mode, there is no switch to flash sync speed
(see the camera's operating instructions).
