The control panel shows the current guide number (GN)
together with the optimum shooting distance according to
the camera setup.
Turn dial A to set the GN.
Set the GN so that the optimum shooting distance is equal
to the subject distance.
When the optimum shooting distance is 0.6 m (0.5 m in
case of close-up flash) or less, the displayed figure blinks
to warn that the subject is located outside the flash light
emission area.
The optimum shooting distance varies according to the
camera setup (ISO speed, lens iris (F), lens focal distance
(ZOOM) and shutter speed). See page 31 for details.
Memo:
The optimum shooting distance can be calculated with
the following formula.
Optimum shooting distance = Guide number (GN)/Lens iris (F)
The light intensity adjustment must be set to ON in the
custom setup operation (page 27).
• The
indicator appears in the control panel.
Turn dial B to adjust the light intensity in the following steps.
0 → +0.3 → +0.7→ +1.0 ... +3.0
0 → -0.3 → -0.7→ -1.0 ... -3.0
The display shows the light intensity adjustment value ex-
cept when the value is 0, in which case the display shows
the optimum shooting distance.
Even if the camera's flash light intensity adjustment func-
tion is set, it is not added to the actual flash light intensity.
