Konica Minolta A2 Flash Range and Camera Sensitivity, Attaching AN Accessory Flash Unit

FLASH RANGE AND CAMERA SENSITIVITY

For correct flash exposures, the subject must be within the flash range. The flash range can be extended by changing the camera sensitivity. When the camera sensitivity is set to auto, the ISO is set between ISO 64 and 200.

The flash range is measured from the CCD. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens’ wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position.

ISO setting	Flash range (wide angle)				Flash range (telephoto)
64	0.5m	~ 2.1m / 1.6 ft. ~		6.9 ft.	0.5m	~ 1.7m / 1.6 ft. ~ 5.6 ft.
100	0.5m	~ 2.7m	/ 1.6 ft. ~	8.8 ft.	0.5m	~ 2.1m	/ 1.6 ft. ~ 6.9 ft.
200 / AUTO	0.5m	~ 3.8m	/ 1.6 ft. ~	12.5 ft.	0.5m	~ 3.0m	/ 1.6 ft. ~ 9.8 ft.
400	0.5m	~ 5.4m	/ 1.6 ft. ~	17.6 ft.	0.5m	~ 4.2m	/ 1.6 ft. ~ 13.8 ft.

ATTACHING AN ACCESSORY FLASH UNIT

To extend the versatility of the camera, an accessory flash unit (sold separately) can be used. Always remove the accessory flash when the camera is not in use, and replace the accessory-shoe cap to protect the contacts.

Slide the accessory-shoe cap off as shown. Mount the flash unit on the accessory shoe by sliding it forward until it stops.
