Focus Light Switch Setting Method
Focus Light mode functions, control and switch position are as follows:
OFF MODE (position set at “LIGHT” as in figure to right)
Set in this position to turn Focus Light off.
Single MODE (*)
Push Focus Light switch once and release. The Focus Light will turn on and then turn off
automatically as the internal strobe fires; or, if shutter not released, after about 8 seconds.
Continuous MODE (*), (**)
By pushing Focus Light switch continuously, or by turning it to either right or left “Lock”
positions while pressing, the Focus Light will turn on and shine continuously until the shutter is
released. Then, the Focus Light will turn on again automatically 0.5 seconds after the image is
taken.
(*) The Focus Light automatic off function is triggered by the Master Strobe’s flash. Therefore,
the Focus Light automatic off function is not recommended for use with R-TTL, R-S and R-M
Group digital cameras having internal strobes, or with other external strobes (that do not use
pre-flash type of exposure calculation). The shutter-linked automatic off function will not work
and light from the Focus Light will be recorded in the image. Turn the Focus Light OFF before
releasing the shutter.
(**) In Continuous MODE, after the shutter is released, the Focus Light will turn off for
approximately 0.5 seconds, before turning on again. Therefore, for slow shutter speeds longer
than 0.5 seconds, do not use the Focus Light in Continuous MODE, since the light will turn back
on while the shutter is still open, exposing the image with light from the Focus Light. Instead use
OFF MODE or Single MODE.
Aperture Value Set Switch Use Method
The Aperture Value Set Switch positions are as follows:
1.4
1/2
, 2, through to 8
1/2
, 11
“External Auto” is possible when Main Mode Switch is in AUTO
position and the Aperture Value Set Switch position corresponds to the camera system’s Aperture
Value settings, when the ISO Sensitivity value is 100.
