3. Flash coverage and reflector
attachments
If there is no attachment in front of the reflector,
the flash unit provides full lighting coverage for
normal 24x36 mm shots with lenses as of 35 mm
focal length. If a wide-angle diffuser (identified
by W) is used the flash will cover the image angle
of a 24 mm lens. When positioning the telephoto
attachment (identified by T) in front of the reflector
the flash unit will fully illuminate shots taken with a
telephoto lens of 85 mm focal length and longer.
