Manual of camera.). When using the PZ40X, camera with ADI mode switches to "ADI" when an input button is pushed and "ADI" is displayed as shown in the figure at right. (The initial setup ADI Mode will be displayed if a switch is turned on.)

English TTL Mode Manual Mode Mount the PZ40X on the camera and push the modeselector button until the LCD panel displays TTL. (When the battery switch is “ON”, the LCD panel shows first setting [ADI]. When using a camera without ADI Mode function, “ADI” is indicated first, then lightly depressing camera’s shutter release , “TTL” will come out on the LCD display.) The PZ40X now calculates exposure based on the camera's selected aperture and film speed and displays the effective TTL distance range.
Auto OK When the subject is within the Auto Effective Range and there is enough light, the "Auto OK" symbol in the LCD display will blink for about 2 seconds after the flash has been fired. If the symbol goes out, then there was not enough light for an exposure. In that case, either move closer to the object or select a larger aperture. Even if the subject is within the Auto Effective Range, the "Auto OK" symbol may not blink due to the color of an object (dark color with low reflectivity).
