[. . . ] Il est possible d'adapter la valeur de la distance affichée à la distance au sujet en modifiant l'ouverture du diaphragme ou la puissance partielle. Voor de TTL-flitsfunctie is de instelling van de ISO-waarde op de flitser alleen voor het correct weergeven van de flitsreikwijdte vereist, niet echter voor het correct functioneren!176 Table 6: Recycling times and number of flashes with different battery types . However, it is worthwhile reading the operating instructions first to learn how to use the flash correctly. [. . . ] Press the , , Return" button repeatedly until the screen is reset to its normal state. If the , , Return" button is not pressed, the display is automatically reset to its normal state after about 5 seconds.  With analog cameras that do not support the TTL flash unit, the wakeup function cannot be activated by touching the shutter release. The KEYLOCK function enables the user to lock the buttons on the flash unit to prevent them from inadvertently being pressed. Is activated, a symbol appears on the display above the two middle buttons. Press the , , Return" button repeatedly until the screen is reset to its normal state. If the , , Return" button is not pressed, the display is automatically reset to its normal state after about 5 seconds. To deactivate the Key-Lock function, press both middle buttons for about 3 seconds. The display is reset to its normal state when the Key-Lock function is deactivated. The zoom position of the main reflector can be adjusted for focal lengths of at least 24 mm (35 mm format). For lenses with focal lengths of 18 mm or more, the integrated wide-angle diffuser can be positioned over the main reflector . The following zoom positions are available: 24 mm - 28 mm - 35 mm - 50 mm - 70 mm - 85 mm - 105 mm (corresponding to 35 mm format) Automatic zoom adjustment The main reflector's automatic zoom adjustment is supported by cameras from Groups B, C, D and E when these are equipped with a CPU lens. Manual zoom adjustment When the flash unit is used with a camera from Group A or a lens without a CPU, the zoom position of the main reflector must be set manually. 3  f you use a zoom-lens and do not necessarily need the full guide number and maximum flash range of the flash unit you can leave the zoom reflector at the position for the shortest focal length of the zoom lens. This will provide full light coverage of the picture and eliminate the need to continually adjust it to the focal length of the lens. Example: You use a zoom lens with a focal length range of 35 mm to 105 mm. Manual adjustment of the zoom position with A-Zoom The zoom position of the main reflector can also be changed when the flash unit is used with a camera capable of data transmission, in order to achieve special lighting effects (such as hot-spot, etc. Touch the shutter release to begin a data transfer between the flash unit and the camera. With the wide angle diffuser , focal lengths of 18 mm or more can be illuminated (35 mm format). Pull the wide-angle diffuser out from the main reflector as far as it will go, and then release it. The distance readings and the zoom value are corrected to 18 mm on the display panel. To insert the wide-angle diffuser , turn it upwards 90° and push it all the way in. [. . . ] 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). Because of parallax error between lens and flash unit, close-up shots may not, depending on the focal length at the bottom of the image, be fully illuminated. Tilt the main reflector downwards or turn the wide-angle diffuser in front of the reflector. [. . . ]
