Canon 199 A - Manual (Page 37)

When Using on Other Cameras
Speedlite 199A can be used on other cameras
for automatic exposure flash photography
(setting the f/stop on the lens manually
while leaving aperture selector switch at the
back of the 199 A to A) and manually operated
photography (setting aperture selector switch
to M) using guide numbers.
In the case of a camera without a directly-cou­
pled contact, use Synchro Cord A for con­
nections. And set the shutter speed at X con­
tact of the camera to be used.
1. In using the Synchronization Cord A,
attach it to the 199A first and then plug in
the other end firmly to the PC socket of
the camera.
2. In the case of automatic exposure flash
photography, set aperture selector switch
at the back to A, and set the lens manually
to the f/stop of your choice given on the
calculator dial.
If focus is obtained within the automatic
exposure coupling range as designated by
the respective colored band on the dial,
correctly exposed pictures can be taken.
3. In the case of manually setting the f/stop
on the lens through guide number calcula­
tion, use the calculator dial as reference
for the f/stop setting on the lens with
relation to the flash-to-subject distance.
