Open-Flash Button'
The red open-flash button is used to fire the speedlight
manually without having to trip the camera's shutter. In
this manner, you can create multiple-exposure "strobo
scopic" effects or paint the scene with light by firing the
speedlight repeatedly with the camera set to "B" or "T."
The open-flash button is also used in conjunction with the
ready-light to determine if you can get the correct expo
sure when shooting on Automatic. This is especially
useful when doing bounce flash. After setting up the shot,
push the open-flash button. If the ready-light does not
blink, you can take the picture. If it does blink, try moving
the speedlight closer to the subject or bounce surface, or
reset the Sensor Unit SU-2 to a color-coded position
calling for a wider aperture.
