5. Measurement
CAUTION:
•There is danger of electric shock if the meter is handled with wet hands, during rain, in areas splashed by water or where there is a lot of moisture.
Under such conditions, it is recommended that you use the meter in the cordless flash mode, or wireless flash radio triggering mode and keep the Synchro terminal cap in place.
NOTE:
•The flash unit may flash when you connect the Synchro cord or operate the Power button.
•When firing a flash to take measurements, check the camera's synchronizing range and set the proper shutter speed.
•For flash units with low electric trigger voltage, the flash may not fire. In this case, make measurements in cordless multiple flash mode (see page 25) or wireless multiple flash radio triggering mode (see page 29).
•EV scale cannot display in flash cumulative mode.
Reference:
•Setting the shutter speed is similar to the previous instruction (see page 22).
•Readings outside the display range or beyond the measuring range are similar to the previous instruction (see page 16) of “Shutter speed priority mode” of section
•If the ISO sensitivity film speed is changed after the measurement is taken, the new converted measured value (f stop value) will be displayed.
