9 Special functions
Depending on the camera model or camera group,
various special functions are available.
For this purpose, data exchange must first occur
between the flash unit and camera to access and
set the special functions, for example by tapping
the shutter release.
The setting must occur immediately after accessing
the special functions since otherwise the flash unit
automatically switches back to normal flash opera-
tion after a few seconds!
9.1 Motor zoom reflector („Zoom“)
The motor zoom reflector of the flash unit can illu-
minate lens angles from 24 mm (35 mm format).
Thanks to the use of the integrated wide-angle dif-
fuser , the illumination widens to 12 mm.
9.1.1 Auto zoom
The zoom position of the reflector is automatically
adjusted to the lens focal length when the flash unit
is used with a camera that transmits the data rela-
ted to the lens focal length.
Automatic adjustment occurs for lens focal lengths
from 24 mm.
The automatic adjustment will not be activated if
the reflector is swivelled, if the wide-angle diffuser
is pulled out, or a Mecabounce (accessory) is
mounted.
If so desired, the position of the reflector can be
manually adjusted in order to achieve particular
lighting effects (such as spot effect etc.).
9.1.2 Manual zoom mode
The zoom position of the reflector must be adjusted
manually to the lens focal length when used with a
camera that doesnít transmit the data related to the
lens focal length.
In this case auto-zoom mode is not possible!
