3.Flash coverage and reflector attachments

If there is no attachment in front of the reflector, the flash unit provides full lighting coverage for normal 24x36 mm shots with lenses as of 35 mm focal length. If a wide-angle diffuser (identified by W) is used the flash will cover the image angle of a 24 mm lens. When positioning the telephoto attachment (identified by T) in front of the reflector the flash unit will fully illuminate shots taken with a telephoto lens of 85 mm focal length and longer.
