2. When the light from the flash is received, the measured value (f stop) is displayed. Each

second period is exceeded and the blinking mark stops, press the Measuring button

NOTE:
When firing a flash, if the flash brightness is 8 EV lower than the ambient light, the
meter may fail to detect the light. In this case, make measurements using the flash with
cord multiple flash (cumulative) mode (see page 24) or wireless multiple flash radio
triggering mode (see page 29).
Rapid start fluorescent lamps and special lighting are sometimes mistaken for flash,
and accidentally measured. In this case, make measurements using the flash with
cord multiple flash (cumulative) mode (see page 24) or wireless multiple flash radio
triggering mode (see page 29).
Waveform of flashbulb is gentle slope and there is a possibility that light meter cannot
recognize the flashbulb in Cordless flash mode. In this case, be sure to take
measurement in cord multiple flash (cumulative) mode (see page 24) or wireless multiple
flash radio triggering mode (see page 29).
EV scale cannot display in flash cumulative mode.
Reference:
Setting the shutter speed is similar to the previous instruction (see page 22).
Readings outside the display range or beyond the measuring range are similar to
the previous instruction. (See page 16) of Shutter speed priority mode of section 1-
