camera’s shutter release.
• The camera is equipped with a lens without CPU.
• the flash unit operates in manual zoom mode „MZoom“. Switch to Auto-Zoom
(see 9.1).
The aperture setting on the flash unit is not automatically adjusted to that of
the lens.
• The camera does not transfer data to the flash unit
• There is no exchange of data between the flash unit and the camera. Tap the
camera’s shutter release.
• The camera is equipped with a lens without CPU.
The indicator for the zoom position of the main reflector is blinking on display
panel
• Warning of shadowing on the edge of the image: the focal length set on the
camera lens (converted to the 35 mm format, 24x36) is shorter than the adju-
sted zoom position of the main reflector.
Automatic switching to the flash sync speed fails to occur.
• The camera has a between-the-lens shutter (as do most compact cameras),
Switching to sync speed is therefore unnecessary.
• the camera operates with high-speed synchronisation HSS (camera settings).
Switching to sync speed does not occur in the process.
• 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).
The shots have shadows in the bottom of the image.
• 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.
The shots are too dark.
• The subject is beyond the range of the flash unit. Note: Using bounce flash
reduces the range of the flash unit.
• The subject contains very bright or highly reflective areas. The metering system
of the camera or flash unit is deceived as a result. Set a positive manual flash
exposure correction, e.g., +1 EV.
The shots are too bright.
• In close-up shots, overexposure (shots that are too bright) may result if the shut-
ter speed is faster than the flash sync speed. The minimum distance from the
subject should be at least 10% of the maximum flash range indicated on the
display.
