AUTO
The flash light intensity is controlled automatically by measuring the
amount of light through the auto light receptor. This mode uses the
settings on the camera together with the settings on the electronic
flash.
1 The control panel shows the light control
range according to the camera’s setup.
The light control range is not displayed if
the camera’s setup (ISO sensitivity and
aperture value) does not match one of
the usable ISO sensitivity/aperture value
combinations. In this case, the [ISO] and
[F] indicators blink to alert you. Change
the camera’s setup (ISO sensitivity and/or
aperture value). g “Light control range in

performed correctly, the AUTO CHECK
