automatically adjusted to match the selected setting. If the ISO
setting is set to a certain value, please check the procedure for
cameras other than Type R.

Plus (HI) mode, the ash will not re.

Manual ash
When you cannot get the exposure you intended using the TTL
auto or Ambient light auto mode, you can use manual ash to set
the desired ash output level.
1 Set the ash mode to NORMAL with the Mode select button
and the ash power level to FULL or 1/4 with the Flash power
level select button.
2 When using manual ash, use the following formula to select
the aperture value.
Aperture value = Guide No. ÷ Shooting distance
Example) If the guide No. is 20 and the shooting distance is 5
m, the appropriate aperture value is 20÷5=4, that is F4.
The ash unit’s output (guide No.) varies depending on the
zoom position. Refer to “Guide No. Table (ISO 100)“ on the
page EN - 18.
3 Set a shutter speed slower than 1/250 second.
