6.2 Flash calculation
for changed measuring times
If the measurement shows that the ambient light
part in relation to the flash light part does not
correspond to your wishes in the overall lighting,
the Starlite calculates on the basis of the meas-
urement taken the influence of altered measuring
times.
Other measuring times can be set directly using
the setting wheel without taking another measure-
ment. The calculation of the new result appears
directly on the display.
Note:
In the event of altered measuring times, you
must ensure that the flash light duration is not
longer than the preselected measuring time.
If this is the case, a new measurement must be
taken.
6.3 Multiple flash calculation
Occasionally, the light output from a single flash
may not be sufficient to enable you to work at the
aperture desired. In that case, you can preselect
the desired f-stop. Keep the right function button
depressed and select with the setting wheel the
sub-function . Release the function button and
select the desired f-stop.
The Starlite calculates on the basis of the
measurement already taken the number of flashes
required for the desired f-stop. The digital display
of the time disappears and the number of flashes
required is indicated, (e.g. F4 = 4 flashes)
The Starlite will calculate up to a max. of 9 flash
sequences.
