ted, the symbol is displayed on the
flash-ready indicator or the manual firing
button. The modelling light is activated when
the manual firing button is pressed.
When the flash unit functions as master in the cordless remote system, the
activation of the modelling light also activates the modelling light of slave
flash units (see 19.4).
The secondary reflector is not supported by the modelling light function!

7.11 Auto OFF Function (Standby)

To save battery power and prevent inadvertent battery discharge, the flash unit is
factory-set to automatically switch over to standby mode, while flash readiness
and the LC display are switched off about 10 minutes after -
• Switch on
• Firing a flash,
• Activating the shutter release
• Switching off the camera's exposure metering system.
If the flash is manually switched on again, the last settings prior to the automatic
switch off are retained and immediately available. The flash unit is reactivated
merely by depressing any of the buttons or by touching the shutter release
(wake-up function).
The flash unit should always be turned off by the main switch
to be used for an extended period!
A corresponding symbol appears on the
display when the Auto-OFF function is acti-
vated.
The flash unit switches to the energy-saving Standby mode when it is not in use
for more than 1 or 10 minutes, depending on the setting. It is reactivated by
depressing any button or by touching the shutter release (wake-up function).
