Sliding the main switch to OFF does not cancel multiple exposure mode.

The high accuracy of your camera’s flash is achieved by ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering in combination with the newly devel- oped D series flash units and lenses. Compared with conventional TTL flash metering, ADI flash metering is less influenced by background condi- tions or the subject’s reflectance, providing optimum flash exposures every time.

Metering Multiple Exposure

The meter in your camera determines exposure (Ev) based on the assumption that only one exposure will be made for each picture. When making multiple exposures, the combined exposure of the series must equal the exposure required for one picture.

•Compensation is not necessary if all of the exposures have dark backgrounds and the subjects of the exposures will not overlap.

Compensate the exposures as follows:

	Number of	1	2	3	4	5	6
	Exposures


	Exposure	0.0	-1.0	-1.5	-2.0	-2.5	-3.0
	Adjustment

•The above corrections are intended as a general guideline. Some testing may be necessary to produce the desired results.

•When using negative film, inform the photofinisher that multiple-exposure pictures are included on the film.

An optional accessory flash, such as the 5600HS(D) or 3600HS(D), improves flash performance over the built-in flash. The flash units fit in the accessory shoe located on the top of the camera.

•The flash signals for the accessory flash are the same as those for the built- in flash (p. 35).

•Refer to the accessory flash’s instruction manual for the flash range. For the 5600HS(D), 5400HS, and 5400xi, the flash range is on the back of the flash units.

•Refer to the accessory flash’s instruction manual to attach the flash .
