The LC display is returned to its normal state after approx. The flash unit is then once again synchronised with the first curtain (normal synchronisation). This setting will give added prominence to the background at lower ambient light levels. This is achieved by matching the shutter speed to the ambient light. Accordingly, shutter speeds that are slower than the flash sync speed are automatically adjusted by the camera. Some cameras automatically activate SLOW synchronisation in connection with certain camera programs (e. No settings are made on the flash unit nor is there any display for this mode.  The REAR function can neither be selected nor adjusted on the flash To be able to select the REAR function you must deactivate the high-speed synchronisation (see 4. This flash mode permits flash shots to be taken also at shutter speeds faster than the flash sync speed which is particularly expedient for portraiture in very bright ambient light when the depth-of-field is to be limited by a wide aperture opening (e. Due to physical reasons, however, this HSS flash mode significantly reduces the guide number and the maximum flash range of the flash unit. it is therefore essential to observe the maximum flash range indicated on the LC display and to refer to the operating instructions and technical data of the flash unit. The HSS flash mode is carried out when a shutter speed faster than the camera's sync speed has been set manually on the camera or automatically by the camera's exposure programme.  HSS flash control should only be used when really required. Do not forget to cancel this mode after exposure because, otherwise, you will unnecessarily diminish the guide number and thereby lose maximum flash range!  To enable activation of the E-TTL flash mode on the flash unit, a complete data exchange must have taken place between the flash unit and the camera. [. . . ] 000054236) The soft directed light diminishes dense shadows. Advice in the event of a fault Should the LC display indicate meaningless information or should the flash unit not work properly in the individual modes, then switch off the flash unit for about 10 seconds by its main switch. Check the camera settings and find out if the flash unit's foot is correctly mounted in the camera's accessory shoe. The flash unit must operate properly when it is switched on again. [. . . ]
