Sony Ericsson SCA 3602 M4 Camera Flash User Manual


 
5.2 Flash synch speed
Sony digital cameras permit flash shots to be taken
at all shutter speeds. Synchronisation for flash
operation is therefore not necessary. Should,
however, the maximum output or guide number be
required for picture shooting, the camera’s shutter
speed must not be faster than 1/125 sec.
5.3 Correct exposure confirmation on the
mecablitz
When the mecablitz is operated in the TTL or Auto A
mode an LED on the mecablitz will light up for
approx. 3 seconds as a visual „OK“ signal to con-
firm correct flash exposure.
Some flash units (mecablitz 40 MZ-3, 40 MZ-3i,
50 MZ-5, 54 MZ-..., 70 MZ-5) transmit an acoustic
signal (beep) in addition to the visual one. Please
refer to the operating instructions for the given
mecablitz model.
The camera does not give a correct exposure
confirmation.
5.4 Manual flash exposure correction
There are certain photographic situations where
the light sensor can be deceived. This is particular-
ly the case with a dark subject in front of a bright
background (the subject will be underexposed; a
positive correction value is required) or a bright
subject in front of a dark background (the subject
will be overexposed; a negative correction value is
required). To overcome this problem in such a pho-
tographic situation and still achieve a correct expo-
sure, the flash intensity can be influenced during
flash operation.
