7.1 Cameras where operating mode, ISO
and aperture can be set
Camera setting
Set on the camera the ISO speed rating. If possible
avoid the AUTO-ISO setting!
Set the camera’s operating mode to aperture prio-
rity A or Av or manual M (see the operating in-
structions for the given camera). Select the appro-
priate aperture manually in the aperture priority
mode. The camera will then automatically set the
corresponding shutter speed. Both the aperture
and shutter speed are set manually on the camera
when in manual mode.
Activate the camera’s internal flash unit (see the
operating instructions for the given camera).
Use a tripod for slower shutter speeds (e.g.
slower than 1/30 s) to avoid camera shake blur.
Flash unit setting
Auto flash mode A of the slave
Set the same values for auto aperture and ISO on
the slave as set on the camera (see chapter 9.1
and 9.2). Set the closest possible value where the
exact value cannot be set.
Shoot some test pictures.
Set a negative flash exposure correction value on
the flash unit when the shots are too bright, and a
positive one when the shots are too dark (see Chap-
ter 9.4). Compare the exposure results to establish
the optimal setting for your camera.
When shooting pictures take into account the
maximum flash range indicated on the flash unit’s
LC display (see Chapter 10.3)!
For cameras fitted with a zoom lens different
flash exposure correction values may be neces-
sary for the wide-angle and telephoto-range!
Manual flash mode M of the flash unit
Set the same values for aperture and ISO on the
flash unit as set on the camera. Set the closest pos-
sible value where the exact value cannot be set.

light output (see Chapter 9.5), you can determine
