the lens focal length. In this case auto-zoom mode is not possible! After switching
on the flash unit, „Zoom" appears in the display and the current zoom position
of the main reflector appears.
Setting procedure
• Press button combination „Select" until „Zoom" appears flashing next to the
zoom position (mm).
• Apply the setting desired with the buttons ( + ) and ( - ). The flashing display
changes to „M.Zoom" for manual zoom mode. The following zoom positions
are possible for the main reflector:
24 - 28 - 35 - 50 - 70 - 85 - 105 mm (35 mm format).
The setting takes effect immediately. After about 5 seconds the display stops
flashing and the setting is saved automatically.
When the camera transmits the lens focal length to the flash unit and a
manual zoom setting results in the shot not being completely lit by the
main reflector (for example, spot effect), the display of the zoom position
of the main reflector flashes as a warning!
Tip:
If you do not necessarily need the full guide number and maximum flash range
of the flash unit, you can leave the zoom reflector at the position for the shortest
focal length of the zoom lens. This will provide full light coverage of the picture
and eliminate the need to continually adjust it to the focal length of the lens.
Example:
You use a zoom lens with a focal length range of 35 mm to 105 mm. In this
case, you set the position of the main reflector of the flash unit to 35 mm.
Resetting to auto-zoom
• Touch the shutter release to begin a data transfer between the flash unit and
the camera.
• Press the button combination „Select" until „M.Zoom" appears flashing next to
the zoom position (mm).

display stops flashing and the setting is saved automatically.
The return from manual zoom mode to auto-zoom mode also occurs if the
flash unit is switched on again with the main switch
Wide-angle diffuser
With the wide angle diffuser , focal lengths of 18 mm or more can be illumi-
nated (35 mm format).

Mecabounce 58-90
If the Mecabounce 58-90 (optional accessories, see 17) is fitted to the main
reflector of the flash unit, the main reflector is automatically guided to the
position required. The distance data and zoom factor are corrected to 16 mm.
9.2 Remote slave flash mode (
The flash unit supports Olympus wireless TTL Remote System in slave flash mode.
At the same time, one or more slave flash units can be remotely controlled from
one master or controller flash unit on the camera (e.g. mecablitz 58 AF-1O digi-
tal).
A slave flash unit can be assigned to one of three possible slave groups (GROUP
A, B or C). The master or controller flash unit can control all of these slave
groups simultaneously and at the same time take the settings for each slave
group into account.
