7. Flash in the individual camera modes
Auto program mode with flash (P-function)
In this mode, the camera automatically activates the flash function when the ambient light level is too low, it automatically adjusts the aperture and shutter speed, and triggers the flash when the shutter release is pressed.
The flashgun is not triggered in the creative program modes PA/PS!
Triggering control
On some cameras the flash will not be fired when the prevailing light is sufficient for an exposure in normal mode. The exposure is then completed with the settings indicated in the display field. Please refer to the camera’s operating instructions for further details.
Activating the flash manually (manual
Although the camera automatically activates the flash whenever the prevailing light conditions make this necessary, it is still possible to trigger the mecablitz manually. Please refer to the came- ra’s operating instructions for the description of this function.
Flash in the A, S and M modes
With aperture priority (A), shutter priority (S) and manual mode (M), a flash will be fired with each shot if the mecablitz has been switched on. Came- ra operation in these three modes is the same as without flash.
With one exception: A shutter speed faster than the camera’s flash sync speed cannot be selected.
Please refer to the camera’s operating instructions for further details.
