The maximum flash range appears in the display according to the flash
parameters set.
Setting procedure
• Press the “Para” (Parameter) button repeatedly until the flash parameters
required (see below) are shown in the display.
• Set the value required with the PLUS / MINUS buttons. The setting will take
effect immediately.
• Press the button “Return” . The display automatically switches back to
its normal appearance. If the button “Return” is not pressed, the
display switches back to its normal appearance after approx. 5 sec.
When the flash parameters are set automatically with an SCA adapter
from the SCA 3002 system various parameters (e.g. aperture and
ISO) cannot be altered manually!
7.1 Aperture (F)
If no digital data transmission takes place between camera and flash unit
(e.g. when using an adapter from the SCA 300 system or the standard foot
301), the aperture values (F) from 1.0 to 45 (at ISO 100) can be set manu-
ally in increments of complete aperture levels.
For the auto flash mode A and manual flash mode M the camera and flash
unit must be set to the same aperture value.
For the TTL flash mode, the setting of the aperture value is necessary only for
the correct maximum flash range indication, but not for the function!
In the event of digital data transmission between camera and flash unit, inter-
mediate values can also be set automatically.
Depending on the camera type and SCA adapter (SCA 3002 system),
the aperture value will not be shown in the display!
Setting procedure see cap. 7.
7.2 Reflector position (Zoom)
If no digital data transfer takes place between camera and flash unit (e.g.
when using an adapter from the SCA 300 system or standard foot 301), the
reflector positions can be set as
24 mm – 28 mm – 35 mm – 50 mm – 70 mm – 85 mm – 105 mm (35
mm format 24 x 36) M-Zoom appears in the display.
In the case of digital data transmission between the camera and flash unit,
the reflector positions can be set automatically. A-Zoom appears in the
display.
Setting procedure see cap. 7.
7.3 Flash exposure correction (EV)
In the event of strong contrast differences between subject and picture bak-
kground, manual flash exposure correction (EV) may be necessary.
Correction factors from -3 EV to + 3 EV (f-stops) can be set in one-third
increments (see too 10).
Setting procedure see cap. 7.
7.4 Light sensitivity (ISO)
If no digital data transmission takes place between camera and flash unit,
(e.g. when using an adapter from the SCA 300 system or the standard foot
301), the ISO values for the light sensitivity can be set manually from 6 to
6400.
For the automatic flash mode A and manual flash mode M the camera and
flash unit must be set to the same ISO value.
For the TTL flash mode the setting of the ISO value on the flash unit is only
necessary for the correct maximum flash indication, but not for the function!
Depending on the camera type and SCA adapter (SCA 3002 system),
the ISO value will not be shown in the display!
Setting procedure see cap. 7.
7.5 Manual partial light output (P)
In the manual flash mode M and stroboscopic mode the light output can
be adapted to the shooting situation through setting a manual partial light
output (P).
