Flash Range And Camera Sensitivity; Shutter-Speed Range And Camerasensitivity - Minolta MM-A208 Instruction Manual

FLASH RANGE AND CAMERA SENSITIVITY

For correct flash exposures, the subject must be within the flash range. The flash range can be
extended by changing the camera sensitivity. When the camera sensitivity is set to auto, the ISO is
set between ISO 100 and 200. The flash range is measured from the CCD. Because of the optical
system, the flash range is not the same at the lens' wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto posi-
tion.
ISO setting Flash range (wide angle)
AUTO
0.5m ~ 3.8m / 1.6 ft. ~ 12.5 ft.
100
0.5m ~ 2.7m / 1.6 ft. ~ 8.8 ft.
200
0.5m ~ 3.8m / 1.6 ft. ~ 12.5 ft.
400
0.5m ~ 5.4m / 1.6 ft. ~ 17.6 ft.
800
0.5m ~ 7.6m / 1.6 ft. ~ 25 ft.

SHUTTER-SPEED RANGE AND CAMERASENSITIVITY

The shutter speed range changes with the camera sensitivity. A change in ISO only affects the slow-
est shutter speed, it does not change the length of bulb exposures.
