Switching on with the controls locked
If you switch the flashgun on with the controls locked, the operating mode indi- cator in the LC display will blink. This is a reminder that you should:

- unlock switch | and lock it again. |
☞Always carry out these two steps, since incorrect exposures may otherwise result (depending on the operating mode).
