Set the shooting mode to Manual exposure or Aperture priority mode. The correct exposure cannot be achieved in 5mode, Program shift mode or Shutter priority mode.
Also, when the ISO setting is set to AUTO, the flash unit will be automatically adjusted to match the selected setting. If the ISO setting is set to a certain value, please check the procedure for cameras other than Type R.

Manual flash
When you cannot get the exposure you intended using the TTL auto or Ambient light auto mode, you can use manual flash to set the desired flash output level.
1Set the flash mode to NORMAL with the Mode select button and the flash power level to FULL or 1/4 with the Flash power level select button.
2When using manual flash, use the following formula to select the aperture value.
Aperture value = Guide No. ÷ Shooting distance
Example) If the guide No. is 20 and the shooting distance is 5 m, the appropriate aperture value is 20÷5=4, that is F4.
The flash unit’s output (guide No.) varies depending on the zoom position. Refer to “Guide No. Table (ISO 100)“ on the page EN - 18.
3Set a shutter speed slower than 1/250 second.
