5.Measurement
2.When the light from the flash is received, the measured value (f stop) is displayed. Each time this is repeated, the accumulated value for the aperture and the number of cumulative flashes is displayed.

3.The ready to measure mode will be displayed for approximately 90 seconds. If the 90 second period is exceeded and the blinking mark stops, press the Measuring button ⑭ again. The measured value (f stop) of the previous time reverts to 0 and the meter is in ready to measure mode.
NOTE:
•When firing a flash, if the flash brightness is 8 EV lower than the ambient light, the meter may fail to detect the light. In this case, make measurements using the flash with cord multiple flash (cumulative) mode (see page 24) or wireless multiple flash radio triggering mode (see page 29).
•Rapid start fluorescent lamps and special lighting are sometimes mistaken for flash, and accidentally measured. In this case, make measurements using the flash with cord multiple flash (cumulative) mode (see page 24) or wireless multiple flash radio triggering mode (see page 29).
•Waveform of flashbulb is gentle slope and there is a possibility that light meter cannot recognize the flashbulb in Cordless flash mode. In this case, be sure to take measurement in cord multiple flash (cumulative) mode (see page 24) or wireless multiple flash radio triggering mode (see page 29).
•EV scale cannot display in flash cumulative mode.
Reference:
•Setting the shutter speed is similar to the previous instruction (see page 22).
•Readings outside the display range or beyond the measuring range are similar to the previous instruction. (See page 16) of “Shutter speed priority mode” of section 1- 1.
•If the ISO sensitivity is changed after the measurement is taken, the new converted measured value (f stop value) will be displayed.
