Notes on This Manual
•The indications on the control panel may differ from those shown in the illustra-
tion above depending on the setup of the electronic flash, the camera in use,
and the shooting conditions.
For example, the firing angle (ZOOM) can be displayed in either of the following
modes.
FOUR THIRDS : Focal length of a Four Thirds System digital camera
135 : Focal length converted to an equivalent angle of view
on a 135 type (35 mm film) camera
The text in this manual employs the FOUR THIRDS display mode and puts value
in the 135 display mode inside parentheses, such as “(XX mm with 135)”. For the
selection of the display modes, see page 61.
