2-2 Auto-reset cordless flash mode
Measurements are made by the meter receiving the light from the flash. This measurement
mode is used when the Synchro cord will not reach because of the distance between the flash
and meter or when use of the Synchro cord is inconvenient.
1. Hold down the Mode set button !0 and turn the
Jog wheel t to set Auto-reset Cordless Flash
mode
.
2. Turn the Jog wheel to set shutter speed. When
setting shutter speed, first check the settings to
confirm that they correspond to the settings
available on the camera.
Reference:
It is possible to switch between full, 1/2 and 1/3 shutter speed stop by setting DIP switch
3 and 4.
The shutter speed can be set from 30 minutes to 1/1000 of a second. After 1/1000 sec, the
m e t e r c a n b e s e t a t t h e f o l l o w i n g i n t e r m e d i a t e s p e e d s : 1 / 7 5 , 1 / 8 0 ,
1/90, 1/100, 1/200, or 1/400.
If the film speed is changed after the measurement is taken, the new converted measured
value (f stop value) will be displayed.
After measurement, the F stop value corresponding to the shutter speed is displayed
when the shutter speed is changed.
“E.u” (Exposure under) or “E.o” (Exposure over) appears when the combination of shutter
speed and aperture are outside the display range. Change the shutter speed with the Jog
wheel and take measurements again.
If the “E.u” or “E.o” readout blinks, this indicates that the light level is beyond the
measurement range of the light meter.
5. Measurement
CAUTION:
• There is danger of electric shock if the meter is handled with wet hands, during rain, in
areas splashed by water or where there is a lot of moisture, if you use cord synchronized
flash.
• Under such conditions, it is recommended that you use the meter in the cordless flash
mode or wireless flash radio triggering mode, and keep the Synchro terminal cap in
place.
NOTE:
• The electronic flash unit may fire when you connect the Synchro cord or operate the
POWER Switch.
• For flash units with extremely low electric trigger voltage, the flash may not fire. In this
case, make measurements in the cordless flash mode or wireless flash radio triggering
mode.
