SEPARATE FLASH UNIT CONNECTION
Separate flash units can be electrically connected either by
way of the hot shoe accessory holder (see previous warn-
ings) on the top of the viewfinder or via a cord to the PC con-
nection port on the left 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 OF SEPARATE
FLASH UNIT
You can measure the effect of an attached flash unit (with PC
connected flash units and SCA3902 compatible flash units
set to M mode), where the camera acts much as a flash me-
ter would. The aperture setting can be adjusted and more
trial exposures made until the information on the grip dis-
play is satisfactory.
To use flash measure:
1) Press the FLASH button on the grip to access the flash
option screen.
2) Turn the
Rear control wheel until Flash measure
appears.
3) Press Save (
ISO/WB button) to access the flash expo-
sure screen.
4) Make preliminary required aperture setting by turning
the front control wheel.
5) Press the
AE-L button. The camera will close the aper-
ture, raise the mirror and fire the flash. Light reflected
from the flash lit subject 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 display and the viewfinder
display. If ‘high’ or ‘low’ appears, change the aperture
accordingly and make a new test reading.
Change the aperture until Diff EV: 0 appears, or the
desired amount of deviation from the normal exposure.
Diff EV: Low signifies more than 2 EV under
Diff EV: High signifies more than 2 EV over
Tip
The ‘Low Flash’ warning can be turned off in Custom Option
#26 if preferred.
