The working distance is the distance
between the object and the front
edge of the flash unit.
As a guideline, we recommend :
• Working distance of approx.
2-10cm: Swivel reflectors by 20°
and set the bounce diffuser (see 9.1)
in front of reflectors.
At distances over 10 cm, the reflectors
can be swivelled to a greater or lesser
extent to achieve a centre weighted
average or a balanced illumination.

10 The AF auxiliary light

The flash unit is equipped with an AF
auxiliary light which illuminates the
object in dark conditions so that the
camera can focus clearly on the
object or it can be used as illumina-
tion for manual focusing.
The AF auxiliary light is switched on
with button and lights up for
around 10 seconds. If a picture is
taken, the AF auxiliary light switches
off immediately and thus does not
contribute to the lighting.
