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:
- When the flash is charged and ready to fire, pressing this button will emit a test flash.
- The indicator light on this button will glow when the flash is fully charged and ready for use. It will blink or remain off during charging.
