5.12 AUTO-FLASH / Triggering control
If the ambient light is sufficient for an exposure in normal mode, then the ca-
mera will prevent the flash unit from firing flashes. Accordingly, no flash is
triggered when the camera's shutter release is pressed. On various cameras,
the triggering control only works in the Full Auto Mode or Program "P", or it
must be activated on the camera (see operating instructions of the camera).
6. Special remarks concerning the cameras
The multitude of camera models and their features make it impossible to de-
tail all camera-specific capabilities, settings, displays, etc. For more details
concerning the operation of a flash unit please refer to the corresponding
chapters in the operating instructions for the given camera!
6.1 Special functions not supported in flash mode
6.1.1 Program shift
A program shift (paired shutter/aperture setting) cannot be carried out in the
programmed auto mode P when the flash unit is switched on (see operating
instructions of the camera).

7. Optional extras
No guarantee is given for malfunctions and damage to the flash unit
caused by the use of accessories from other manufacturers!
• 20 mm wide-angle diffuser
(Item No. 000044217)
For full illumination in conjunction with lenses of 20 mm and up. The range
is reduced by the factor 1.4 due to the corresponding loss of light.
• Colour filter set 44-32
(Item No. 00004432A))
Consists of 4 colour filters to achieve special lighting effects, plus a clear fil-
ter to hold colour foils in any colour.
• Mecabounce 44-90
(Item No. 000044900)
A diffuser to achieve soft illumination in the simplest possible manner. The
effect is very impressive because the pictures are given a very soft atmos-
phere. Facial colours are rendered more naturally. However, loss of light
halves the maximum flash range.
• Bounce diffuser 54-23
(Item No. 000054236)
The soft directed light diminishes dense shadows.
