Auto-exposure Flash Confirmation Signal
'5 .6
(with the Speedlite 188A and 166A only)
After the shutter is released, continue to press
the
shutter button halfway; the green 0 will flash
on and off for two seconds if the shooting
distance provided correct exposure.
Note
The auto-expo!lure confirmation signal displayed
in the viewfinder is
for use with the Speed lite
l88A and l66A. When using other flash units,
the
0 may flash on and off after the shutter is
released. In such cases, however, it does not
confirm auto-expos ure and should be disregarded.
