So I just got this macro flash. After playing with it a little bit, I found a menu which is not documented in the user manual. Not sure what does it do but when I hold both Set and Lamp buttons for 1-2s, a menu with "SL" and a number appear. That number can be adjusted from -- to 60. Anyone know what its function?maybe a bug? I thought it was for Slave mode but it's not.

strobe light?

Maybe sleep timeout?

It could be something left over from the JY-680, since it seems to share some parts. I tried to find a manual for one of those, but I don't see one anywhere.

Not too familiar with flashes but google tells me that on Sony Flashes SL is for slow syncro forced flash. Could this be that?
