When shooting
in
daylight, a backlit subject may come
out
almost as a silhouette if the background is cor-
rectly exposed. If,
on
the other hand, exposure com-
pensation is made to correctly expose the subject,
the background may
be
washed out.
To
fil l in the
shadows and
balance the illumination levels of the
subject and the background
in
daylight shooting, use
the
8B-103 or 8B-102 8peedlight.
When the
speedlight
is
turned
on,
the shutter speed
automatically switch
es
to 1/90sec. Point the camera
at
the main subject and gently depress the shutter
release button halfway to activate the camera's expo-
sure meter. When the meter is
on
and the flash has
recycled, the viewfinder ready

For best results, follow this procedure whenever any

during-daylight fill-in flash shooting unless you inten-
tional
ly
want to over- or underexpose a shot.
