4 Display illumination
Every time a button on the flash unit is pressed, the flash display illumination is
activated for 10 seconds. When a flash is fired via the camera or a hand
release, the display lightning

on the flash unit is switched off.
5 Operating modes (mode menu)
Depending on camera type, various modes are available (Standard TTL
without preflash, preflash, ADI flash control), Automatic , Manual ,
and Stroboscope . Therefore, data transfer between flash unit and camera
is necessary before setting the flash mode, e.g. by actuating the shutter release.
Depending on the type of camera, other flash modes may be supported.
These flash operating modes can be selected and activated in the mode
menu following a data transfer with the camera. Depending on the
system, some camera models (depending on the camera's operating
mode) only support the TTL flash mode. Other flash modes (automatic A,
manual M etc.) cannot be selected or activated!
