holder (if SCA3902 compatible) on the top of the viewfinder or via
a cord to the PC connection port on the le hand side of the camera
body. Slave unit switches/ transmitters can also be connected similarly
dependant on unit (see specific user manuals for details).
Keep the plastic safety cover in place in the hot shoe when not in
use.
Flash measure
You can measure the effect of an attached flash unit (with PC con-
nected flash units and SCA3902 compatible flash units set to M mode),
where the camera acts much as a flash meter would. By choosing
‘Flash measure’, a trial exposure is made with the auxiliary shutter
still in place which therefore prevents film frames from being used.
e aperture setting can be adjusted and more trial exposures made
until the information on the grip LCD is satisfactory.
To use flash measure:
1) Press the FLASH button on the grip once to access the flash
option screen.
2) Turn the rear control wheel until Flash measure appears.
3) Press the DRIVE/Save button to access the flash exposure
screen.
4) Make preliminary required aperture setting.
5) Press the AE-L button. The camera will close the aperture, raise
the mirror and fire the flash. Light reflected from the flash lit sub-
ject will be reflected off a white spot on the auxiliary shutter to
the meter sensor.
6) Deviations from a normal exposure are displayed as differences
in EV on the grip LCD and the viewfinder LCD. If ‘high’ or ‘low’
appears, change the aperture accordingly and make a new test
reading.
7) Change the aperture until Diff EV: 0 appears, or the desired
amount of deviation from the normal exposure.
Lo signifies more than 2 EV under
Hi signifies more than 2 EV over
