Fig. 24: Calling a stored user program

When proceeding from program 0 - as the home program with the standard operating range - to transfer to another program with RCL (Recall), the data of the standard working range are first stored in the home program place 0 before the new data of the selected program place can be read from the memory.

In the event that the original standard operating data have to be reactivated, then the home program place 0 is merely recalled.

If a new program place is called without subsequently pressing the buttons STO (Store) (3) or RCL (Recall) (4) then, after 5 seconds, the flashgun automatically switches back to the previously adjusted program place.

Calling a stored program:

1 Press the Prog. button ; Prog. flashes.

2 Select the desired program place Prog. ? with the „+“ button .

3 Press the button P (RCL) .

The program is now loaded and can be used.

A flashing mode symbol on the LC display after a user program has been called indicates a deviation from the setting of the operating mode selector. However, this does not have any influence on the actual exposure. To turn off the flashing symbol, adjust the operating mode selector to the mode that is flashing on the LC display.

12. Working with user programs

If, for example, the operating mode is changed after a stored program has been called, the LC display switches to „Prog.0“. But the unchanged parameters of the previously loaded program place are retained.

The factory-set flash programs can be overwritten if you wish to store your own flash programs. Five stickers, included with the flashgun, can be inscribed as a memo when storing your own program places.

Procedure for storing a program:

Select the required settings (aperture, zoom, operating mode, etc.) for sub- sequent application.

• Press the Prog. button

; Prog. flashes.

• Use the „+“ or - button

to select the program place Prog. ? where the set-

tings are to be stored.

 

Keep the button Remote (STO) depressed until a beep signal sounds (approx. 3 seconds). All settings are stored when the bepp signal stops.

The last settings made on program place 0 are retained when the flashgun is switched off. These settings are reactivated when the flashgun is switched on again, provided that the batteries were not removed from the flashgun.
