GB INSTRUCTIONS FOR DÖRR DAF-320 TTL FLASH OLYMPUS / PANASONIC
TTL FLASH CONTROL WITH APERTURE PRIORITY MODE
If you wish to take pictures in aperture priority mode in favour of a certain focus range, the TTL flash control will be
available as well. Set your camera to aperture priority mode (A/Av) and the flash to TTL mode. Now you can set the
desired aperture at the camera manually. Please note that the flash range decreases with smaller apertures
(higher aperture numbers).
TTL FLASH CONTROL WITH SHUTTER PRIORITY MODE
Set the camera to shutter priority mode (S/Tv) and the flash to TTL mode. Now you can set a desired exposure time on your camera. However, it should
not go below the camera's shortest flash sync time (x-synchronization) – see camera manual.
TTL FLASH CONTROL WITH MANUAL EXPOSURE SETTING
Set your camera to manual exposure mode (M) and the flash to TTL mode. Now you can set the aperture and exposure time as desired. Despite of the
manual setting, the TTL flash control will automatically provide the correct illumination for your object.
MANUAL FLASH EXPOSURE COMPENSATION WITH TTL CONTROL (+/- CORRECTION)
The auto TTL flash control usually ensures correct illumination. Some objects require a more
natural image effect, so the flash power needs to be slightly reduced. In other cases, a slightly
increased flash power can improve the image result. Press the SET button to set the desired
exposure compensation value. The display shows 0.0EV. Pressing the right arrow key, you can
increase the flash power, using the left arrow key, the flash power will be reduced. Each step corresponds to approx. 1/3EV. 1 EV corresponds to 1 aper-
ture step. Once the desired correction figure is selected, confirm by pressing the SET button again. The correction value will be used until changed. The
auto TTL flash control remains active; however, the flash power will be influenced by the set correction value within a range of -3.0EV to + 3.0EV.
MANUAL FLASH MODE PHOTOGRAPHY
For manual flash mode, press the MODE button until the LCD shows "M" followed by the flash power ratio. The full flash power ratio 1/1 can be reduced
down to 1/128. To set the desired flash power, press the SET button. The flash power shows up in the LCD with a dark background and can be varied in
1/3 EV steps by pressing the arrow keys. Aperture must be set manually. The flash range varies according to the aperture in use.
FLASH RECYCLING TIME DISPLAY
Depending on the flash power output, it may take up to 5 seconds until the flash is ready for the next shot. During the
charging time, the flash ready indicator blinks. Once it glows permanently, the flash unit is ready to fire the next flash
INDIRECT FLASH
The DAF-320 boasts of a bounce and tilt flash head. So the flash direction can changed horizontally by 150° (60° to the left, 90° to the right) and from -7°
to 90° vertically. You can avoid the direct flash onto your object, by directing the flash to a reflecting surface (incident angle = angle of reflection). The
surface should be neutrally white (white wall or ceiling). When using coloured reflection surfaces, the colour of the surface will be reflected with the
light, this will lead to colour distortions.
Indirect flash photography offers you the following advantages:
• avoids harsh shadows
• avoids red-eye effect
• soft outlines and even illumination (particularly suitable for portraits)
• avoids disturbing light reflections of non-metallic surfaces, e.g. glasses
Please consider that indirect flash photography reduces the flash range.
FLASH WITH DIFFUSOR
Portraits require a softer illumination. Instead of indirect flash, you can use the supplied diffusor. Mount it to the flash head front, then tilt the flash head
upwards. The flash range will be reduced with the use of the diffusor.
WIRELESS FLASH (OFF CAMERA
SLAVE FUNCTION S1 (NO TTL)
You can initiate the DAF-320 wireless flash by a master flash (incorporated camera flash or another flash unit without pre-flash. Press the MODE button
of D-320 until S1 appears on the LCD. The slave photocell is activated now and the corresponding symbol is shown on the LCD. Place the DAF-320 flash at
the desired position. The light sensitive photocell will now receive reflecting light
