Program System Flash - Rollei 100 WA Instructions For Use Manual

PROGRAM SYSTEM FLASH

Program system flash
The Rollei Prego 100 WA /Prego 130 WA fea-
tures a new technology for compact cameras.
When you work with the flash, the camera
automatically takes into account the amount of
light, the brightness of the subject, the dis-
tance away and the focal length of the lens.
Conventional flash units in compact cameras
flash at full power regardless of how far away
the subject is. The flash unit in the Prego 100 WA/
Prego 130 WA carefully monitors the amount of
light emitted.
Examples:
Close-up photography
in low ambient light
With a normal flash exposure, the flash unit
emits all its power and the picture is overex-
posed. With the integrated system flash, how-
ever, the power output adapts to the particular
conditions (up to 12.5 %).
Portrait shots in very bright daylight
Under such conditions, portraits can show
very hard shadows around the nose or hair.
With a conventional fill-in flash, the flash unit
emits its full power.
With the system flash in the Prego 100 WA/
Prego 130 WA, only enough light is emitted to
tone down the hard shadow and produce a
naturally lit portrait.
