Setting the built-in wide-flash adapter and adjusting the
zoom-head position
1
Slowly pull out the wide-flash adapter all the way,
and position it over the flash head. Then slide the
bounce card back into place inside the flash
head.
2
Press the c or d button to adjust the zoom
head position to 14mm or 17mm.
• When the wide-flash adapter is set on the flash head,
the power zoom function becomes inactive and the
zoom-head position is adjusted to 14mm or 17mm.
To adjust the zoom-head position, go to the Custom

Setting the aperture
Calculate the aperture by using this equation and table. To ensure the correct
exposure, use an aperture smaller than the one obtained from the equation.
ISO sensitivity 25 50 100 200 400 800 1000
Coefficient (m/ft) 1.4/4.6 2/6.6 2/6.6 4/13 4/13 5.6/18 5.6/18
f/stop ͧ Coefficient ÷ Flash-to-subject distance
For example, at an ISO sensitivity of 100 with a subject 0.5m (1.6 ft.) away and
the wide-flash adapter in place, the suggested aperture is:
f/stop ͧ 2 ÷ 0.5 = 4 (in meters)
f/stop ͧ 6.6 ÷ 1.6 = approx. 4 (in feet)
Therefore, you should use at least f/4 or an even smaller aperture, such as f/5.6
or f/8.
