14. Special functions

Fig. 26: Exposure o.k.

The correct exposure indicator („o.k.“)



lights up only when the frame will be,

or was,correctly exposed in the auto and TTL mode.

In this manner it is possible to manually trigger a test flash while in auto mode so

that the correct aperture can be established beforehand. This is particularly

valuable with bounced flash when reflection conditions are difficult to judge.

1The test flash is triggered with the manual firing button



(fig.26).

If the exposure o.k. indicator



remains dark after the test flash was fired, then

adjust the next larger aperture (smaller f-number) or diminish the distance to the

reflection surface or subject,and repeat the test flash.

The f-stop established in this manner must also be set on the camera.

To trigger a test flash, hold the camera and flashgun in the same

manner as for the actual shot.

This facility can also be used with TTL mode without having to produce test expo-

sures.The flashgun is adjusted to auto mode, and the correct aperture is then

determined with a test flash in the previously described manner.The established

aperture is transferred to the camera, and the flashgun is then readjusted to TTL

mode.

This procedure is relatively accurate with lenses of medium focal length of between

28 mm and 85 mm. But in borderline cases underexposure may occur with

subsequent TTL exposure.

under the main reflector, all the way to the

front.Then release it.This causes the main reflector to automatically advance to

zoom position 20 mm.The wide-angle diffuser automatically folds up, and the

distances and zoom value on the LC display are modified accordingly.

To push in the wide-angle diffuser,press on the left and right-hand guide rails of

the black guide plate.The wide-angle diffuser will fold down and can then be

pushed in completely.
