Attach the flash sync cord
to the meter’s sync
terminal.
★ Take care when connecting
the flash to the meter, as the
flash may fire.
★ If no flash is connected to the
sync terminal, or if the flash
does not fire normally
because it is not fully charged,
the meter cannot take a flash
light measurement. Before
starting measurement, make
sure that the flash is
connected to the sync
terminal and the flash has
been fully charged.
The f-number corresponding to the
shutter speed set in step 4 is
displayed on the digital readout as
well as on the analog scale with a
pointer ( ). The proportion of
flash light illuminating the
composition is shown on the
analyze scale.
Example: The display shows a
reading of F8.0 + 0.9
stops, and the
proportion of ambient
light to flash light is
about 1:1.
