Daylight fill-in flash shooting
When shooting in daylight , a backlit subject may come
out almost as a silhouette if the background is cor-
rectly exposed . If, on the other hand , exposure com-
pensation is made to correct ly expose the subject ,
the background may be washed out. To fil l in the
shadows and balance the illumination levels of the
subject and the background in daylight shooting , use
the 8B-103 or 8B-102 8peedlight.
When the speedlight is turned on, the shutter speed
automatically switches to 1/90sec. Point the camera
at the main subject and gently depress the shutter
release button halfway to activate the camera 's expo-
sure meter. When the meter is on and the flash has
recycled , the viewf inder ready-l ight will light and one
of the shutter speed LED indicators will blink. To
obtain the correct exposure, adjust the aperture to
numerical ly larger f-numbers until both the 1/125sec.
and 1/60sec. shutter speed LEOs begin blinking , or
until either the 1/60sec. or 1/30sec. LED indicator
blinks. Check that the viewfinder ready-light is lighted ,
then depress the shutter release button completely.

For best results , follow this procedure whenever any
of the shutter speed LEOs from "125" to " 1000" blinks
during-daylight fill-in flash shooting unless you inten-
tiona lly want to over- or underexpose a shot.
For more information , refer to the speedlight instruc-
tion manual.
