a subject more than 5.6m (18 ft.) away, the only usable flstop is fl4.

• Recycling time and depth of field

If the subject distance remains the same, the wider the aperture you select, the faster the recycling time of the flash unit and the greater the maximum shooting distance, but the less the depth of field. With ASAIISO 100 and a

subject up to 4m (13 ft.) away, you can select anyone of the three flstops indicated, fl4, fl5.6 or fl8, taking into consideration the recycling time or depth of field you desire. With the wide-flash adapter attached and a sub- ject up to 2.8m (9 ft.) away, the usable flstops are also fl4, fl5.6 and fl8.
