PC Terminal, WIRELESS/REMOTE Ratio Flash | Minolta 800si manual

WIRELESS/REMOTE OFF-CAMERA FLASH

WIRELESS/REMOTE RATIO FLASH

Follow the instructions for wireless/remote (p 94), but press the flash-compensation button before taking the picture. The built-in flash will also fire and the flash ratio will be 2:1. The built-in flash will provide 1/3 of the exposure and the accessory flash will provide 2/3 the exposure.

CANCELLING THE WIRELESS/REMOTE FLASH

Attach the accessory flash to the camera and turn the camera and flash on.

Press the flash-mode button in the control panel.

Turn either dial to select another flash mode, then press the shutter-release button partway down to enter the selection.

PC TERMINAL

This camera is equipped with a PC connector which enables you to connect PC-capable flash units with a flash sync cord.

Set the exposure mode to M, then set the shutter to 1/200 or slower.

• Turn the flash unit off before connecting the sync cord to the PC terminal or the flash unit may fire unexpectedly while connecting.

•Your camera's PC terminal is center-positive; the most common polarity used for PC connections.

•Flash units with an extremely low trigger voltage may not work with the 800si. If your flash has a low trigger voltage, contact a Minolta Service Facility.

•When used with the Vertical Control Grip VC-700 (sold separately) both the camera’s PC terminal and the VC-700’s PC terminal can be used (together or separately).
