2-2 Auto-reset cordless flash mode
Measurements are made by the meter receiving the light from the flash. This measurement
mode is used when the Synchro cord will not reach because of the distance between the
flash and meter or when use of the Synchro cord is inconvenient.
2. 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 available on the camera.
4. If the 90 second period is exceeded and the blinking mark stops, press the Measuring
button again to return to ready to measure.
NOTES:
• If the shutter speed is changed after measurement, the measure (f stop) is cleared to 0
and you must take the measurement again.
• 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 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
mode.
• The meter's tripod socket permits mounting it to a tripod or light stand and placing it
strategically when using cordless flash mode.
Reference:
• Setting the shutter speed is the same as measurement (see page 14) of "Flash mode
with cord" of section 2-1 .
• A new converted value is displayed when the film speed is changed after taking the
measurement.
• Readings over and under the measuring range are the same as measurement (see
page 14) of "Cord Flash mode" of section 2-1 .
2-3 Cord multiple flash (cumulative) mode
These measurements are used when the light generated by the flash is inadequate for proper
exposure. The repeated flash pops can be accumulated until the desired aperture is displayed.
The accumulation can be repeated up to nine times.
1. Slide DIP switch to MULTI (see page 8) to the ON
position.
Hold down the Mode set button 10 and turn the
Set/change dial 5 to select flash measurement
with cord cumulative mode (MLT will display on
the LCD).
2. Turn the Set/change dial 5 to set shutter speed. When setting shutter speed, first check
the settings to confirm that they correspond to the settings available on the camera.
3. Connect the Flash synchro cord to the meter's
4. Press the Measuring button 19 to trigger a flash. The measured f stop value at that time
will be displayed. Each time this is repeated, the accumulated f stop value and the
number of cumulative flashes is 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.
Under such conditions, it is recommended that you use the meter in the flash cordless
mode, and keep the Synchro terminal cap in place.
