Flash readiness display

The flash symbol "" at bottom right in the viewfinder flashes about 2x/s (2 Hz) when the flash unit (in conjunction with SCA adapters 350, 351, 550 and 551) is ready - regardless of the camera mode set and in the "100 ' and "B" setting.

Caution: with some flash units, flash readiness and switchover to 1/100 s occurs as soon as approx. 70% flash intensity is available. In these cases, it is advisable to wait a few seconds before repeating flash exposure, especially to avoid underexposure, e.g. with very small apertures or great subject-to-camera distance.

Flash control display

With finger kept on the exposure release button, the flash symbol "" shows whether flash intensity (in conjunction with SCA adapters 351 and 551) was sufficient for correct exposure:

a) symbol flashes at 2 Hz:

flash intensity was sufficient, immediate flash readiness for next exposure.

b)symbol flashes for 2s at approx. 8 Hz: flash intensity was sufficient; condenser drained. Await renewed flash readiness before next exposure.

c)no display:

flash intensity was insufficient.

Try repeating the exposure with larger aperture; await renewed flash readiness before next exposure.
