5.1 Display of the flash mode
The current flash mode is shown in the
display. Depending on the type of camera,
different displays are available for the selec-
ted TTL flash mode (z.B. and )
and the manual flash mode M (see 7.3).
5.2 Range display
When using cameras and a lens with CPU,
the range is indicated in the display.
For this a data exchange must have occurred
between the camera and flash unit, for exam-
ple by tapping the shutter release. The range
can be displayed either in metres (m) or feet
(ft) - see 11.5).
The flash range is not displayed when . . .
- no data is transmitted from the camera.
- when the reflector head is tilted out of its
normal position (upwards or sideways).
- The flash unit is working in SLAVE or SERVO
mode.

Range display in i TTL-/
i TTLBL- flash modes
In the TTL flash modes , ,
and ; see 7) the value for
the minimum and the maximum range of the
flash unit is displayed.
The value indicated relates to subjects with a
reflection factor of 25%, which applies to
most photographic situations.
Strong deviations from this reflection factor,
as in the case of highly reflective or poorly
reflective subjects, may affect the flash range
of the flash unit.
The subject should be in the range of 40% to
70% of the maximum range. This will give the
electronics sufficient scope for compen-
sation.
To prevent overexposure, the minimum
distance to the subject shown in the display
should not be undershot.
Adjustment to the photographic situation at
hand can be achieved by, for example,
changing the aperture of the setting on the
lens.
