Displays:
Unlike the normal displays in camera mode m ,
the shutter speed and
tely in the viewfinder (2.9 a/d).
In the flash unit display, M HSS, the flash output
level set and the resulting range appear.
Exposure of the ambient light is adjusted using
the light balance on the camera (see "Manual
aperture and exposure time setting mode m ",
can be seen alterna-
p. 153). The flash exposure is determined accor-
ding to guide number calculation, using the infor-
mation shown in the flash unit display. To do this,
the range specified in the flash unit display simp-
ly has to be adjusted to the subject distance by
setting the shutter speed and/or aperture and/
or flash output appropriately.
Notes:
When setting the exposure for the ambient light
using the shutter speed and aperture in accor-
dance with the light balance, the correct flash
exposure for different subject distances can only
be achieved with manual adjustment of the flash
output.
By setting appropriate output levels, flash expo-
sure compensation is also possible in M HSS mode.
