3. When the light from the flash is received, the measured value (f stop) is displayed. Each
time this is repeated, the accumulated value for the aperture and the number of cumulative
flashes is displayed.
4. The ready to measure mode will be displayed for approximately 90 seconds. If the 90
second period is exceeded and the blinking mark stops, press the Measuring button !5
again. The measured value (f stop) of the previous time reverts to 0 and the meter is in
ready to measure mode.
5. If the flashing light extinguishes after 90 seconds, press the measurement button again to
re-set previous setting values (F values) to "0" and revert to the standby state.
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 the flash with
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 flash with
cord flash mode.
Reference:
・ Setting the shutter speed is the same as measurement (see page 18) of "Cord flash
mode" of Section 2-1.
・ “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.
