3. Automatic flash mode

To achieve a shallow depth-of-field (for instance for portraiture) we recommend the auto aperture f/2, whereas the auto aperture f/4 (extended depth-of- field) should be adjusted for group shots where many people are behind each other.

The subject should be located within the middle third of this distance range to give the

electronic control sufficient scope for com- pensation should this be necessary.

There is a certain measure of overlap between the individual working apertures. As a result of this overlap it is always possible to place the subject within the middle third of the range.

CAUTION with zoom lenses!

Due to their design they can cause a loss of light in the order of up to one f-stop. Further- more, the effective aperture can also vary, depending upon the adjusted focal length. This must be compensated by manually correcting the aperture setting on the flashgun!
