5) If the settings were incorrect to match the output of the ash
unit, the viewnder display shows a red triangle alongside a
ashing green ‘ash’ symbol plus a warning message - ‘Low
flash’. The grip display will also show a warning message -
‘Low flash’.
Conventional measures should then be taken to correct the
situation. (That is: move closer to the main subject, use a
larger aperture setting or use a higher ISO setting).
Separate ash unit connection and use
Separate ash units can be electrically connected either by way
of the hot shoe accessory holder (see previous warnings) on the
top of the viewnder or via a cord to the PC connection port on
the left hand side of the camera body. Slave unit switches/ trans-
mitters can also be connected similarly dependant on unit (see
specic user manuals for details).
Keep the plastic safety cover in place in the hot shoe when not
in use.
Flash measure of separate ash unit
You can measure the eect of an attached ash unit (with PC
connected ash units and SCA3902 compatible ash units set to
M mode), where the camera acts much as a ash meter would.
The aperture setting can be adjusted and more trial exposures
made until the information on the grip display is satisfactory.
To use ash measure:
1) Press the
FLASH button on the grip to access the ash option
screen.
2) Turn the rear control wheel until Flash measure appears.
3) Press Save (ISO/WB
button) to access the ash exposure
screen.
4) Make preliminary required aperture setting by turning the
front control wheel.
5) Press the AE-L button. The camera will close the aperture,
raise the mirror and re the ash. Light reected from the
ash lit subject will be reected o a white spot on the
auxiliary shutter to the meter sensor.
6) Deviations from a normal exposure are displayed as
dierences in EV on the grip display and the viewnder
display. If ‘high’ or ‘low’ appears, change the aperture
accordingly and make a new test reading.
Change the aperture until Diff EV: 0 appears, or the desired
amount of deviation from the normal exposure.
