15.1 Firmware updates
The firmware version (V.10 in the example) of
the flash unit is shown in the start screen
after switching on.
The flash unit’s firmware can be updated
through the USB port ቭ and adjusted to the
technical requirements of future cameras
(Firmware Update).
For more information, visit the Metz home-
page at www.metz.de.
15.2 Conditioning the flash capacitor
The flash capacitor built into the flash unit
undergoes a physical change when the
device has not been used for a long time.
For this reason it is necessary to switch the
device every three months for approx.
10 mins. The power supplies must deliver
enough power so that flash standby lights up
no later than 1 min after switching on.
15.3 Reset
The flash unit can be reset to the factory
settings when delivered.
Setting procedure
• Press the ቨ button as often as it takes
for the selection menu to appear.
• Press the sensor button on the
touch display.
• Press the sensor buttons on the
touch display and select "RESET".
• Press the sensor button on the touch
display.
• Press the sensor button on the touch
display.
All settings are adopted immediately and
the flash unit is reset to its factory settings.
This will not affect the firmware updates for
the flash unit!
