Setting the zoom-head position

The zoom-head position is automatically adjusted by the power zoom function. It can also be manually adjusted.

•The guide number indicating flash output level varies according to the zoom-head position (p. 35).

●●● The power zoom function

When the SB-600 is used with cameras compatible with CLS, digital SLRs not compatible with CLS, and cameras in Groups I to II in combination with a CPU lens, the power zoom function activates and the zoom head is automatically adjusted.

•The zoom-head position is automatically adjusted to match focal lengths of 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 70mm and 85mm when the power zoom function is activated.

•When the lens focal length is not one of those indicated above, the zoom head adjusts to the closest wide-angle setting of the lens in use. For example, if the zoom setting of a CPU lens was between 36mm and 49mm, the zoom-head position would be adjusted to 35mm.

•If a small M does not appear above the “ZOOM” indication on the LCD panel, the zoom- head position will be automatically adjusted. If a small M appears, keep pressing the s button until it disappears.
