8.1 Auto flash mode A
In automatic flash mode the photo cell sensor of the flash unit measures the light reflected by the sub- ject. The flash unit interrupts light emission as soon as the necessary amount of light for a correct ex- posure has been reached. This means that a new aperture does not have to be calculated and set when the distance is changed, provided that the subject remains within the automatic flash range.
The sensor has a measuring angle of 25° and only measures while the flash unit is emitting light. The measurement takes into account the light of the camera’s internal flash emitted at the same time as the light from the slave flash.
☞If the duration of the flash from the camera’s internal flash unit exceeds that of the slave (e.g. with
The correct exposure indicator will display “o.k.” for approx. 3 seconds when the shot was correctly exposed (see Chapter 10.2).
Setting procedure
Continue depressing the “MODE” key on the slave until “A” flashes on the display. The setting instant- ly becomes effective and is automatically stored after 5 s. Then set auto aperture, ISO and reflector status as flash parameters (see Chapter 9).
☞Avoid exposing the sensor to direct sunlight!
