3.2 Mounting and Removing the Flash from the Camera

Control Unit:
Before mounting the control unit onto your camera, be sure that the flash and the camera are switched off and
that the locking ring of the control unit is turned upwards. The camera's incorporated flash must be closed.
Models for Canon, Nikon, Pentax:
Slide the control unit carefully onto the camera's flash shoe. In order to guarantee a tight fitting and good
contact between control and camera, the locking ring should be turned clockwise. When removing the control
unit from the camera, reverse the steps.
Models for Olympus and Panasonic:
Slide the control unit carefully onto the camera's flash shoe. In order to guarantee a tight fitting and good
contact between control unit and camera, push the LOCK button. When removing the flash from the camera,
press the two arrow buttons next to the lock button simultaneously. The flash is loose now and can now be
removed.
Models Sony Alpha:
Slide the control unit carefully onto the camera's flash shoe until it clicks closed. In order to remove the control
unit, press the PUSH button. The control unit is loose now and can be removed from the camera easily.
Macro Flash to Control Unit:

Macro Flash to Camera:
Screw one of the supplied main adapter rings (58 or 72mm) into the filter thread of your camera
lens. If necessary, use one more of the supplied adapter ring. Now join the macro flash to the adapter
rings, by pressing both locking buttons simultaneously to insert the adapter ring into the macro flash.

3.3 Taking Pictures with the DÖRR Macro Flash
• Switch your camera on.
• Switch the flash control unit on.
• Wait for the flash „READY" indication.
• Switch on one or two of the macro flash tubes.
- If you use one side of the macro flash only, the object will be illuminated partially. The object turns out more
vividly, depending on the object you will create more or less shadow.
- If you use both macro flash tubes, you will receive a shadow-free and even illumination of your macro
object.
- Depending on the object, it may be of advantage to turn the macro flash tubes up or down. For this
purpose press the two fixing clamps and turn the macro flash unit by 90°.
• The macro flash boasts of a TTL flash control. You can use program automatic mode or aperture or
exposure priority mode. For real macro photography, however, we recommend to use the manual flash
mode (M) only.
• Set the desired exposure at your camera. You can increase the focus area by choosing a small aperture (e.g. 11, 16 or 22).
• The TTL flash control provides the precise amount of ligh required for a correct exposure.
• In case of over or under eposure, change the aperture setting or the ISO setting, then repeat the shot.
