10.1 Modelling light

The modelling light is a high-frequency stro-
boscopic flash. It creates the impression of a
semi-permanent light for a duration of about
3 seconds. The modelling light enables the
user to assess light distribution and the for-
mation of shadows before taking pictures.
The modelling light is triggered with the
manual firing button

10.2 Zoom Mode

10.2.1 Extended Zoom Mode

In extended zoom mode the zoom position of
the reflector is reduced to one level below
the focal length of the camera lens. The
resulting expanded and broader light covera-
ge provides additional dispersed light (reflec-
tions) inside rooms so that a softer flash illu-
mination is possible.
Example:
The focal length of the camera lens is 50 mm.
The extended zoom mode sets a 35 mm
reflector position on the flash unit. However,
50 mm continues to be shown on the display.
