1. Find the selected lens aperture on the vertical line for the
appropriate film speed (ISO).
FLASH RANGE
2. Imagine a horizontal line drawn across the graph from
this point.
3. The minimum and maximum subject distances are indi-
cated by the points where this line intersects the lower
and upper set of diagonal lines, respectively.
• For example, the bold line drawn on the graph shows how
to determine the flash range using ISO 100 film, a 35mm
focal length setting at f/4; in this case the flash range would
be 0.3-7 m ( 0.9 - 23ft ).
• If the subject is closer than 1m, use an off-camera flash with
cable.

FLASH RANGE
Flash range is the appropriate range that
provides you for a correct exposure. To
determine the flash range for the film and
aperture being used, refer to the graph
shown.
