How does the Apus 80’s zoom function work?
The Apus 80 features a manual zoom setting that can be adjusted between 24mm and 200mm. This lets photographers control the spread of the light, from wide coverage for group shots to a focused beam for telephoto subjects. Adjusting the zoom manually ensures precise control over the flash output.

This makes it a strong choice for multi-light setups in both studio and on-location environments.
