Hasselblad H4D200MS  SEPARATE Flash Unit Connection,  FLASH Measure of Separate Flash Unit

 SEPARATE FLASH UNIT CONNECTION

Separate flash units can be electrically connected either by way of the hot shoe accessory holder (see previous warn- ings) on the top of the viewfinder or via a cord to the PC con- nection port on the left hand side of the camera body. Slave unit switches/ transmitters can also be connected similarly dependant on unit (see specific user manuals for details).

Keep the plastic safety cover in place in the hot shoe when not in use.

Lift this edge of the cover first

 FLASH MEASURE OF SEPARATE FLASH UNIT

You can measure the effect of an attached flash unit (with PC ­connected flash units and SCA3902 compatible flash units set to M mode), where the camera acts much as a flash me- ter would. The aperture setting can be adjusted and more trial exposures made until the information on the grip dis- play is satisfactory.

To use flash measure:

1)Press the FLASH button on the grip to access the flash option screen.

2)Turn the rear control wheel until Flash measure appears.

3)Press Save (ISO/WB button) to access the flash expo- sure screen.

4)Make preliminary required aperture setting by turning the front control wheel.

5)Press the AE-Lbutton. The camera will close the aper- ture, raise the mirror and fire the flash. Light reflected from the flash lit subject will be reflected off a white spot on the ­auxiliary shutter to the meter sensor.

6)Deviations from a normal exposure are displayed as

differences­ in EV on the grip display and the viewfinder

display­ . If ‘high’ or ‘low’ appears, change the aperture accordingly and make a new test reading.

Change the aperture until Diff EV: 0appears, or the desired amount of deviation from the normal exposure.

 Diff EV: Lowsignifies more than 2 EV under
