2. Blitzmodi

The EF-42 offers various flash modes to suit different shooting conditions. Use the MODUS button to cycle through available modes and the SEL (Select) button to adjust settings within a mode.

• TTL-Modus (Through-The-Lens): The flash automatically adjusts its output based on the camera's metering system for balanced exposure. This is the recommended mode for most situations.
• Manueller Modus: Allows you to manually set the flash output power (e.g., 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, etc.). This mode provides precise control for advanced users.
• Multi-Modus: (If available) Fires the flash multiple times during a single exposure to capture stroboscopic effects.

3. Bounce and Swivel Functionality

The flash head can be tilted and swiveled to bounce light off ceilings or walls, creating softer, more natural-looking illumination and avoiding harsh direct flash.

• Kippen: The flash head can be tilted upwards to various angles (e.g., 0°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°). Gently push the flash head upwards until it locks into the desired position.
• Schwenkbar: The flash head can be swiveled horizontally (e.g., 90° left, 180° right). Gently rotate the flash head to the left or right until it locks into the desired position.

Der TEST/CHARGE Der Knopf erfüllt zwei Funktionen:
