Separate ash unit connection and use
Separate ash units can be electrically connected either by way of
the hot shoe accessory holder (see previous warnings) on the top
of the viewnder or via a cord to the PC connection port on the
le hand side of the camera body. Slave unit switches/ transmitters
can also be connected similarly dependant on unit (see specic
user manuals for details).
Keep the plastic safety cover in place in the hot shoe when not
in use.
The ‘Low Flash’ warning can be turned off in Custom Option #26
if preferred.
To use ash measure:
1) Press the FLASH button on the grip to access the ash option
screen.
2) Turn the rear control wheel until Flash measure appears.
3) Press Save (DRIVE button) to access the ash exposure
screen.
4) Make preliminary required aperture setting by turning the
front control wheel.
5) Press the AE-L button. The camera will close the aperture,
raise the mirror and re the ash. Light reected from the
ash lit subject will be reected o a white spot on the auxil-
iary shutter to the meter sensor.
6) Deviations from a normal exposure are displayed as dier-
ences in EV on the grip LCD and the viewnder LCD. If ‘high’
or ‘low’ appears, change the aperture accordingly and make
a new test reading.
Change the aperture until Diff EV: 0 appears, or the desired
amount of deviation from the normal exposure.
Diff EV: Low signies more than 2 EV under
Diff EV: High signies more than 2 EV over
Flash measure of separate ash unit
You can measure the eect of an attached ash unit (with PC con-
nected ash units and SCA3902 compatible ash units set to M
mode), where the camera acts much as a ash meter would. e
aperture setting can be adjusted and more trial exposures made
until the information on the grip LCD is satisfactory.
5) If the settings were incorrect to match the output of the ash
unit, the viewnder LCD displays a red triangle alongside a
ashing green ‘ash’ symbol plus a warning message - ‘Low
flash’. The grip LCD will also display a warning message -
‘Low flash’.
Conventional measures should then be taken to correct the
situation. (That is: move closer to the main subject, use a
larger aperture setting or use a higher ISO setting).
