meter may fail to detect the light. In this case, make measurements using the flash with
cord flash mode.
• 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 flash mode.
Reference:
• Setting the shutter speed is similar to the previous instruction (see page 18).
• Readings outside the display range or beyond the measuring range are similar to
the previous instruction. (See page 13)
