3 Usage of Main Flash

3.1 Loading of the Batteries

• Open the battery compartment cover by sliding it in direction of the arrow. The flash must be switched Off.
• Insert four AA batteries (Mignon type) or rechargeable NiMH of the same performance making sure to respect
the correct plus/minus order as shown inside the compartment.
• Close the battery cover.
• Switch the flash on (ON/OFF switch). If batteries have been properly inserted, the "Ready" light will glow after a few seconds.
Now the first test flash can be made. Simply press the flash test button.

3.2 Mounting and Removing the Flash from the Camera

Before mounting the flash onto your cmaera, be sure that the flash and the camera are switched off and that the locking ring of the
flash is turned upwards. The camera's incorporated flash must be closed.
Models for Canon, Nikon and Pentax:
Slide the flash unit carefully onto the camera's flash shoe. In order to guarantee a tight fitting and good contact
between flash and camera, the locking ring should be turned clockwise. When removing the flash from the camera,
reverse the steps.
Models for Olympus:
Slide the flash unit carefully onto the camera's flash shoe. In order to guarantee a tight fitting and good contact
between flash and camera, push the LOCK button. When removing the flash from the camera, press the two
arrow buttons next to the lock button simultaneously. The flash is loose now and can now be removed.
Models Sony/Minolta:
Slide the flash unit carefully onto the camera's flash shoe until it clicks closed. In order to remove the flash,
press the PUSH button. The flash is loose now and can be removed from the camera easily.
3.3 Selector Switch for Main Flash

3.4 TTL Flash Mode with Automatic Program Mode

After the flash is properly mounted on your camera, switch the camera on, select the automatic program exposure mode (P), then
switch the flash unit to ON. The DÖRR Combi TTL Flash works automatically in TTL flash mode. When the flash READY light glows
you need only press the shutter release button to start taking pictures. Most cameras boast of a flash ready indicator in the viewfinder
(see camera instruction). The TTL auto flash mode automatically controls the required light of camera and flash for correct exposure
of your object. The flash light is reflected from the object and measured through the lens (TTL). When the correct exposure has been
measured, a stop signal is transmitted to the flash. The flash electronics circuitry then interrupts the light transmission and ignites the
flash. Simultaneously the best aperture and exposure time will be set at your camera. The TTL auto flash mode offers a highly precise
exposure and is easy to handle. And in addition the following advantages are given:
• Camera settings and corrections are not required
• Lens extensions (e.g. with extension tubes) are automatically recognized
• Filter factors (e.g. for polarizing or neutral density filters) will be considered
• Automatic calculation of the variable aperture of zoom lenses
• The film speed in use /ISO no. will be considered and calculated correctly
• The usage of soft boxes and bouncers in case of indirect flash will be calculated correctly
• Only the required light for correct exposure is measured
