Operating Instructions

180
Strobe flash mode with SCA 3501/3502M3
adapter
This flash method, in which several flashes are
emitted in succession during an exposure, is pos-
sible in manual
m and aperture priority A exposure
modes. If the camera modes
P or T are selected,
the error message appears in the view-
finder (3.6h, see "Error codes", p. 182).
In manual mode, the exposure time, between
16s and 1/250s, and the aperture are set
manually; the light balance is used to check on
the available light. If the required time, calculat-
ed from the selected number of flashes and the
flash frequency of the strobe flash, is longer than
the set exposure time, the exposure time is auto-
matically extended. The light balance (2.8a)
remains visible and shows the extent to which
this would result in overexposure due to the avail-
able light. This can be corrected using the aperture.
