[. . . ] We are happy to welcome you as a customer. Of course, you are excited to start using the flash unit right away. However, it is worthwhile reading the operating instructions first to learn how to use the flash correctly. This flash unit is suited for: · Olympus - Digital cameras with TTL flash control and flash socket system, as well as the compatible digital cameras from Panasonic and Leica. [. . . ]  When the camera transmits the lens focal length to the flash unit and a manual zoom setting results in the shot not being completely lit by the main reflector (for example, spot effect), the display of the zoom position of the main reflector flashes as a warning!Tip: If you do not necessarily need the full guide number and maximum flash range of the flash unit, you can leave the zoom reflector at the position for the shortest focal length of the zoom lens. This will provide full light coverage of the picture and eliminate the need to continually adjust it to the focal length of the lens. Example: You use a zoom lens with a focal length range of 35 mm to 105 mm. In this case, you set the position of the main reflector of the flash unit to 35 mm. resetting to auto-zoom · Touch the shutter release to begin a data transfer between the flash unit and the camera. After about 5 seconds the display stops flashing and the setting is saved automatically.  The return from manual zoom mode to auto-zoom mode also occurs if the flash unit is switched on again with the main switch . wide-angle diffuser With the wide angle diffuser , focal lengths of 18 mm or more can be illuminated (35 mm format). Pull the wide-angle diffuser out from the main reflector as far as it will go, and then release it. The distance readings and the zoom value are corrected to 18 mm on the display panel. Use flash unit mounting foot W-F127 to set up the slave flash unit. Wait for all of the flash units involved to become flash ready. Once the slave flash units are flash ready, the AF measuring beam will blink. Press the manual firing button on the master or controller flash unit to fire a test flash. The slave flash units will respond in succession, according to slave group, with a test flash. if a slave unit fails to fire a test flash , check the settings for remote channel and slave group. Correct the position of the slave flash unit so that it is able to receive light from the master flash unit.  The flash mode is transmitted automatically by master or controller. When the flash unit functions as master in the cordless remote system, the activation of the modelling light also activates the modelling light of slave flash units  The same remote channel must be set on the slave flash unit as on the A series of flash exposures FB (flash bracketing) can be carried out in the TTL flash modes ( TTL , TTL HSS; see 7. A flash bracketing series consists of three successive flash shots with different flash exposure correction values: · The first shot is carried out without correction value. The second shot is made with a minus correction. [. . . ] The flash unit is not ready for firing. The camera supports only its own internal AF measuring beam. Some cameras support the AF measuring beam in the flash unit only with the camera's central AF sensor. If a peripheral AF sensor is selected, then the AF measuring beam will not be activated in the flash unit. [. . . ]
