wideangle diffuser from above out of the
reflector head and forwards.
• Hold the reflector card and push the
wide-angle diffuser back into the
reflector head.

12.3 Flash exposure memory FE

Several cameras feature a flash exposure
memory (FE; Flash-Exposure). The flash unit
supports this during TTL flash mode.
It can be used to define and store the
exposure level for the subsequent shot
before the shot is actually taken. This can be
useful when, for example, the flash exposure
has to be adjusted to specific details that
may not be necessarily be identical with the
main subject.
This function is activated on the camera.
The subject details for the flash exposure are
measured and brought into focus by the
cameraís AF sensor/metering window.
Pressing the cameraís FE button
(the description varies from camera to
camera; see camera operating manual)
causes the flash unit to fire an FE test flash.
The stored metering value, for example „EL",
is then displayed in the camera viewfinder.
The camera uses the reflected light of the
test flash to determine the light output
required for the subsequent exposure.
The actual main subject can then be
brought into focus with the camera's AF
sensor/metering window. When the shutter
release is pressed, the picture will be
exposed with the previously defined light
output of the flash unit!
The flash exposure memory FE is not
supported during the green fullyautomatic
programme, the Vari programme and the
subject programmes! Further details
regarding settings and handling can be found
in the camera operating manual!
