5. Measurement
4) If the 90 second period is exceeded and the
blinking mark stops, press the Measuring
button again to return to ready to measure.
5) When the light from the flash is received, the
measured value (f stop) is displayed. Even
after measurement, the mode mark
continues to blink and the meter is in ready
state and a new measurement can be made.
(Auto-reset function)
NOTE: ● When firing a flash, if the flash brightness is low compared to
the ambient light, the meter may fail to detect the light. In this
case, make measurements using cord flash mode.
● Rapid start fluorescent lamps and special lighting are
sometimes mistaken for flash, and accidentally measured. In
this case, make measurements using the cord flash mode.
● If the light receiving section experiences a sudden change in
light, even when the flash has not been triggered during
measurement standby, a measurement will be made in some
cases. In such situations please use the cord flash mode.
● The luminous waveform of a flash bulb is gentle, so light will
not be sensed in auto reset cordless flash mode. Always use
the cord flash mode for measuring flash bulb light.
REFERENCE: • Setting the shutter speed is similar to the previous instruction
of item 2-1 Cord Flash mode (see page 14).
• A converted value is displayed when the ISO film speed is
changed after taking the measurement.
• Readings outside the display range or beyond the measuring
range are similar to the previous instruction 2-1 Cord Flash
mode (see page 14).
