Open-Flash Button'

The red open-flash button is used to fire the speedlight

manually without having to trip the camera's shutter. In

this manner, you can create multiple-exposure "strobo

scopic" effects or paint the scene with light by firing the

speedlight repeatedly with the camera set to "B" or "T."

The open-flash button is also used in conjunction with the

ready-light to determine if you can get the correct expo

sure when shooting on Automatic. This is especially

useful when doing bounce flash. After setting up the shot,

push the open-flash button. If the ready-light does not

blink, you can take the picture. If it does blink, try moving

the speedlight closer to the subject or bounce surface, or

reset the Sensor Unit SU-2 to a color-coded position

calling for a wider aperture.
