AE-1 Viewfinder information
Once the flash is charged and the pilot
lamp glows, the meter needle will swing
to the aperture pre-selected on the 155A. If
the pre-selected aperture is outside the aper
ture range of the lens, either the under-ex
posure lamp blinks or the _ meter needle
enters the overexposure mark. In these cases,
change the aperture setting on the 155A.
Since the meter needle does not swing to the
flash-selected aperture until the flash is
charged, you could tell the flash was ready
for firing simply by looking into the view
finder. However, since it is possible that
the flash-selected aperture might be the same
as that chosen by the camera for non-flash
AE photography, it is advisable to make sure
the pilot lamp is glowing before firing.
* When you are performing normal AE
photography during the flash interval.
