AE-1 Viewfinder information

Once the flash is charged and the pilot

lamp glows, the meter needle will swing

to the aperture pre-selected on the 155A. If

the pre-selected aperture is outside the aper

ture range of the lens, either the under-ex

posure lamp blinks or the _ meter needle

enters the overexposure mark. In these cases,

change the aperture setting on the 155A.

Since the meter needle does not swing to the

flash-selected aperture until the flash is

charged, you could tell the flash was ready

for firing simply by looking into the view

finder. However, since it is possible that

the flash-selected aperture might be the same

as that chosen by the camera for non-flash

AE photography, it is advisable to make sure

the pilot lamp is glowing before firing.

* When you are performing normal AE

photography during the flash interval.
