12.3 Flash exposure memory FE
Several cameras feature a flash exposure memory
(FE; Flash-Exposure). The flash unit supports this
during ETTL flash mode.
It can be used to define and store the exposure
level for the subsequent shot before the shot is
actually taken. This can be useful when, for exam-
ple, the flash exposure has to be adjusted to speci-
fic details that may not be necessarily be identical
with the main subject.
This function is activated on the camera. The sub-
ject details for the flash exposure are measured and
brought into focus by the cameraís AF sensor/mete-
ring window. Pressing the cameraís FE button (the
description varies from camera to camera; see
camera operating manual) causes the flash unit to
fire an FE test flash.
The stored metering value, for example „EL“, is then
displayed in the camera viewfinder. The camera
uses the reflected light of the test flash to determi-
ne the light output required for the subsequent
exposure. The actual main subject can then be
brought into focus with the camera’s AF
sensor/metering window. When the shutter release
is pressed, the picture will be exposed with the pre-
viously defined light output of the flash unit!
The flash exposure memory FE is not supported
during the green fullyautomatic programme, the
Vari programme and the subject programmes!
Further details regarding settings and handling can
be found in the camera operating manual!
