2. Measuring flash light
This method of measurement can be done in the following modes; with cord, without cord, multiple
flash with cord, and multiple flash without cord. The measured value displayed is the sum of the
flash portion and the ambient light portion.
2-1 Cord Flash mode
The most positive method to assure proper synchronization and measurement of flash units.
Connect the meter with the flash with a synchronization cord. Be sure to replace Synchro
terminal cap after your measurement.
1. Connect the flash synchro cord to the Synchro
terminal 8 on the exposure meter.
2. Hold down the Mode set button 10
and turn the
Set/change dial 5 to select flash measurement
with cord mode.
3. Turn the Set/change dial to set shutter speed.
When setting shutter speed, first check the
settings to confirm that they correspond to the
settings on the camera.
4. Press the Measuring button 19
to trigger the flash.
The measured value (f stop value) will be displayed.
CAUTION:
• There is danger of electric shock if the meter is handled with wet hands, during rain, in
areas splashed by water or where there is a lot of moisture, if you use cord
synchronized flash.
• Under such conditions, it is recommended that you use the meter in the flash cordless
mode, and keep the Synchro terminal cap in place.
NOTE:
• The electronic fire unit may fire when you connect the Synchro cord or operate the
POWER Switch.
• For flash units with extremely low electric trigger voltage, the flash may not fire. In this
case, make measurements in flash mode without cord (see page 15).
Reference:
• The shutter speed can be set in single or half steps from 1 second to 1/1000 of a
second. After 1/1000 sec, the meter can be set at the following intermediate speeds: 1/
75, 1 /80, 1 /90, 1 /100, 1 /200, or 1 /400.
• If the film speed is changed after the measurement is taken, the new converted
measured value (f stop value) will be displayed.
• If the shutter speed is changed after the measurement is taken, the measurement (f
stop) is cleared to 0 and you must take the measurement again.
• E.u" (Exposure under) or "E.o" (Exposure over) appears when the combination of
shutter speed and aperture is not possible for the measured light level. Change the
shutter speed with the Set/change dial and take measurements again.
• If the "E.u" or "E.o" readout blinks, this indicates that the light level is beyond of the
measurement range of the light meter.
