3. Bedienungsanleitung

3.1 Ein-/Ausschalten

To turn the flash on, slide the power switch to the 'ON' position. The LCD panel will illuminate. To turn off, slide the switch to 'OFF'. The flash may enter a standby mode after a period of inactivity to conserve battery power.

3.2 Blitzmodi

The SB-24 offers several flash modes to suit different shooting conditions:

• TTL-Modus (Through-The-Lens): This is the standard automatic exposure mode. The flash output is automatically controlled based on light measurements taken through the camera's lens, ensuring balanced exposure.
• Manueller Modus: Allows you to manually set the flash output power (e.g., Full, 1/2, 1/4, etc.). This mode provides precise control for specific lighting setups.
• Auto Aperture (A) Mode: The flash automatically adjusts output based on the aperture set on the flash unit and the subject distance.
• Synchronisierung der hinteren Vorhänge: Synchronizes the flash to fire just before the second curtain closes, creating natural-looking light trails behind moving subjects.
• Reduzierung roter Augen: Fires a series of pre-flashes to constrict the subject's pupils, reducing the red-eye effect.

3.3 Blitzkopfjustierung

The flash head can be tilted upwards and downwards, and swiveled horizontally. This allows for bounce flash photography, where the light is directed off a ceiling or wall for softer, more natural illumination. Adjust the head by gently rotating or tilting it to the desired angle.

4. Wartung

4.1 Reinigung

To clean the flash unit, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid using strong solvents or abrasive materials. Keep the flash tube and sensor window clean for optimal performance.

4.2 Speicherung

When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and corrosion. Store the flash unit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided carrying case for protection during storage and transport.

5. Fehlerbehebung

If you encounter issues with your SB-24 Speedlight, consider the following:

• Blitz zündet nicht:
  • Check if the flash is turned on and fully charged (ready light illuminated).
  • Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Batterien korrekt eingelegt sind und ausreichend geladen sind. Tauschen Sie sie gegebenenfalls aus.
  • Vergewissern Sie sich, dass der Blitz sicher im Blitzschuh der Kamera befestigt ist.
  • Check camera settings to ensure external flash is enabled and compatible with the selected mode.
• Falsche Belichtung:
  • Im TTL-Modus stellen Sie sicher, dass der Belichtungsmessmodus Ihrer Kamera für die Szene geeignet ist.
  • Im manuellen Modus kann die Blitzleistung angepasst werden.
  • Check for obstructions in front of the flash or sensor.
  • Consider adjusting flash exposure compensation on either the flash or the camera.
• Flash Head Not Moving:
  • Ensure no locking mechanisms are engaged that prevent movement.
  • Do not force the flash head; if it feels stuck, inspect for debris or damage.

Bei anhaltenden Problemen wenden Sie sich bitte an einen qualifizierten Servicetechniker.
