5. Settings on the camera

Select on the camera the "Manual Mode M"
with aperture and shutter speed priority or the
automatic "Aperture Priority Mode" ("A" or
"Av") (see operating instructions for the given
camera).
When in "Manual Mode M" set the flash sync
speed on the camera (e.g. 1/60th sec.; see
operating instructions for the given camera) or
a slower shutter speed.
k
In the "Aperture Priority Mode" ensure that the
camera does not select a shutter speed faster
than its flash sync speed! Should this be the
case, set on the lens a higher f-number (=
smaller aperture opening)!

Please refer to the hints given for flash
photography in the camera manual.

6. Flash modes

6.1 Automatic flash mode with the
auto apertures f2.8 and f5.6.
When in automatic flash mode the sensor inte-
grated in the flash measures the light reflected
from the subject. The flash unit automatically
cuts off the flash as soon as the amount of light
required for correct exposure has been rea-
ched. In this manner the aperture does not
have to be recalculated and reset when the
distance changes, provided that the subject
remains within the auto flash range indicated
on the aperture calculator.
