Flash measure
You can measure the eect of an attached ash unit (with PC con-
nected ash units and SCA3902 compatible ash units set to M mode),
where the camera acts much as a ash meter would. By choosing
‘Flash measure’, a trial exposure is made with the auxiliary shutter
still in place which therefore prevents lm 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 ash measure:
1) Press the FLASH button on the grip once to access the ash
option screen.
2) Turn the rear control wheel until Flash measure appears.
3) Press the DRIVE/Save button to access the ash exposure
screen.
4) Make preliminary required aperture setting.
5) Press the AE-L button. The camera will close the aperture, raise
the mirror and re the ash. Light reected from the ash lit sub-
ject will be reected o a white spot on the auxiliary shutter to
the meter sensor.
6) Deviations from a normal exposure are displayed as dierences
in EV on the grip LCD and the viewnder LCD. If ‘high’ or ‘low’
appears, change the aperture accordingly and make a new test
reading.
7) Change the aperture until Di EV: 0 appears, or the desired
amount of deviation from the normal exposure.
