Flash readiness display

The flash symbol " " at bottom right in the
viewfinder flashes about 2x/s (2 Hz) when the
flash unit (in conjunction with SCA adapters
350, 351, 550 and 551) is ready - regardless of
the camera mode set and in the "100 ' and "B"
setting.
Caution: with some flash units, flash readiness
and switchover to 1/100 s occurs as soon as
approx. 70% flash intensity is available. In these
cases, it is advisable to wait a few seconds before
repeating flash exposure, especially to avoid
underexposure, e.g. with very small apertures or
great subject-to-camera distance.

Flash control display

With finger kept on the exposure release button,
the flash symbol " " shows whether flash
intensity (in conjunction with SCA adapters 351
and 551) was sufficient for correct exposure:
a) symbol flashes at 2 Hz:
flash intensity was sufficient, immediate flash
readiness for next exposure.
b) symbol flashes for 2s at approx. 8 Hz: flash
intensity was sufficient; condenser drained.
Await renewed flash readiness before next
exposure.
c) no display:
flash intensity was insufficient.
Try repeating the exposure with larger aperture;
await renewed flash readiness before next
exposure.
