Intelligent Photocell-Sensor
Push “Cell” button, for less than 0.5 seconds to switch on/off the standard Photocell sensor.
LED Indication:
Cell LED is ON: Active photocell.
Cell LED is OFF: Inactive photocell.
In “on” mode, the Photocell sensor will trigger the flash unit with any recognized flash impulse.
The Eye-Cell offers new features and can detect camera pre-flashes (anti red eye effect).
To customise the pre-flash settings, please follow the instructions at paragraph 3.
(This is only activation, not the setup. To Setup, follow step 3)
Press the Cell button for approx. 1 second; the status LED starts flashing.
LED Indication:
Cell LED flashes in slow intervals; the Eye-Cell pre-flash mode is activated.
Cell LED is OFF; the Eye-Cell pre-flash mode is inactive.
Function:
In active mode the unit ignores up to 6 anti-red-eye flashes and synchronizes / triggers only
with the last main flash. This is useful where the anti-red eye pre-flashes can’t be switched
off.
Eye-CELL Setup English
Press the Cell button for 4 seconds until display shows “c.X” for automatic setup.
(“X” is the number of pre-flashes including main flash from 1 up to 7)
Scroll with the “Flash-Power” up and down button to “c.0”
Now use the camera-on flash and release a test exposure. The camera will release several
anti-red eye flashes (if activated). The BX-Ri Eye-Cell detects the number of flashes the
camera released and stores the value automatically, and switches back to Eye-Cell Pre-flash
mode. Ready to use.
If the cell button was pressed down for 6 seconds the “Setup Pre-Flash Timeframe” is
activated and the display shows t.4 or b.1 (standard settings). Do not change these values;
this would deactivate the “Automatic Eye-Cell Mode”! Wait a few seconds, the unit switches
back to the standard mode and the display shows the flash power settings. Should the t.4 or
b.1 values have been changed, please set the “Setup Pre-Flash Timeframe” back to standard
settings as descript at paragraph 4.
