Wide Panel - Sigma EF-500 Instrucciones

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE FLASH TO AND FROM THE
CAMERA
Be sure turn off the Power Switch. Then insert the Shoe
Base into the hot shoe on the camera and turn the Shoe
Locking Ring until it is tight.
■ When you attach or remove the flash, grasp the bottom
of the flash to prevent damage to the shoe foot and
camera's hot shoe.
■ If the camera's built-in flash is set in up position, please
close it before you attach the flash unit.
■ To remove the flash, rotate the shoe-locking ring in the
opposite direction of ◄LOCK mark, until it stops.
SETTING OF FLASH COVERAGE ANGLE
When you press the ZOOM button
panel display will change and indicate the zoom position in sequence, as follows.
Generally, in the TTL mode, the flash will automatically set the zoom position according to the focal length of
your lens.
■ When you turn on the main switch, the flash will memorize and set the zoom head position to the last
setting used.
■ If you use a lens wider than the flash head setting, there may be under exposed areas around the edge of
the picture.
■ Depending on the flash head setting, the flash's Guide Number will be changed.
In the case of use with Sigma SD9
Due to the size of the
coverage angle can effectively reach that of 17mm wide focal length, without using the wide panel,
(However, the coverage angle display of the flash will not show wider than 28mm). When the wide panel is
used, 10mm focal length can be covered. (However, the coverage angle display on the flash will show
17mm.)
When "Manual Flash photography" or "FP Flash photography" is performed, the flash's coverage angle can
be set automatically by the flash's autozoom function. However, when used with the camera, the effective
range of the flash's light can be extended by increasing the zoom setting of the flash to be equal to the
effective focal length of the lens being used by using the ZOOM button. Please refer to the following table
as a guide in setting the flash to the appropriate zoom setting. Please use this table in conjunction with
Table 1 ("Guide Number Table for Manual Flash") on the last page of this instruction manual, and Table 2
("Guide Number Table for FP Flash").
