10.3.4 Learn function
The “Learn function” enables individual automatic
adjustment of the slave flash unit to the flash tech-
nology of the camera’s flash unit.
In the process, one or more pre-flashes, e.g. to
reduce the “red-eye effect” of the camera flash unit
can be taken into account.
The slave flash unit is then fired to coincide with the
main flash that illuminates the actual picture.
If the camera’s own flash device provides for auto-
matic focussing AF measuring flashes, then due to
the system characteristics no learn operation is
possible. Disable the AF measuring beam on the
camera
If possible, use another camera mode or change to
manual focussing.
