Auto flash mode A

Set the camera for Aperture Priority Mode A or Manual Mode M (see camera manual).

In the aperture priority mode A the camera will automatically select a suitable shutter speed. In the manual mode M you will have to set an appro- priate shutter speed on the camera (see operating instructions for the camera; e.g. approx. 1/60 s).

Select a suitable aperture on the camera. Manually set the same value for the auto working aperture on the slave flash unit. Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds (slower than 1/30 s) to avoid camera shake.

☞If the camera’s precise aperture value cannot be set, then select on the flash unit the one that comes closest to it. If necessary take test shots with different auto working apertures.
