10.5 Setting the Sensor Limit:

Press Option ■ button to bring up this menu. Push Set G once. The sen- sor limit will blink. Use Up J/Down L buttons to change the sensor limit. The available limits are:

∞- No limit placed on sensor distance

20ft / 6m, 15ft / 4m, 10ft / 3m,

5ft / 2m,

When the Flash Sensor Limit is set to ∞ the flash will produce the desired f/# for a subject within the flash’s minimum and maximum flash distance.

With Auto Sensor Limit turned on, a ‘Limit’ indicator is activated. After a flash, if the subject’s distance exceeds the sensor limit currently set (5, 10, 15 or 20ft. / 2, 3, 4, 6m) the word ‘Limit’ will appear in the display. Three beeps and/or 3 blink warning may also occur (if those features are set in Options). If the subject is within the current sensor limit normal exposure indicators (OK, Undr, Over) will apply.

10.6 Quick turn ON / OFF of Sensor Limit

There are times you may want to quickly change from a Sensor Limit dis- tance, to no sensor limit [∞]. For example, at a wedding reception you may shoot close up from 5’ with no background, and next shoot a group shot from 25’.

To set or cancel a sensor limit quickly: Press the Option ■ button until you bring up the menu with the Sensor limit setting. Then, without pressing the Set G button, use the Up J/Down L buttons to toggle between maximum sensor limit [∞] and the last sensor limit set (in the procedure above).

You can also use Program (Section 13) to preset the sensor limits you want. Then, just toggle between them using the Up J/Down L buttons.
