B Guide Number
To calculate the range of the flash at full power, divide the Guide Number by the aperture.
For example, at
ISO 100 the 58-800 has a Guide Number of 38 m or 125 ft. (35 mm zoom head
position); its range at an
aperture off/5.6 is 38-;-.5.6 or about 6.8 meters (or in feet,
125
-;-. 5.6=approximately 23 ft. 7 in.). For each twofold increase in ISO sensitivity, multiply
the Guide Number by the square root of two (approximately 1.4).
