Canon 199 A - Manual (Page 25)

Focusing
The flash-to-subject distance is close enough if
the confidence light lights up green. The next
step is to focus on the subject. Proper ex­
posure cannot be obtained if the subject is
outside the automatic coupling ranges. There­
fore, it is very important to note the flash-to-
subject distance.
Checking the Exposure and Shooting
After the pilot lamp lights up, press the
shutter release button halfway and check the
information inside the finder. Confirm proper
focusing and press the shutter release button
further down for shooting. Proper exposure
has been obtained if the flash confirmation
light lights up green.
Automatic Alteration from Flash Setting to
Non-Flash AE Exposures
After each firing in flash photography the
pilot lamp goes out and the circuit is auto­
matically switched over to without-flash AE
photography until the condenser is charged.
This means pictures can be taken in continuons
fashion, if the situation demands.
Switching Off
Set the main switch at OFF after completion
of flash photography in order to prevent
battery drain. The connecting circuit between
the flash unit and camera is cut off when the
main switch is set at OFF, and ordinary AE
photography can be performed with the
flash unit still attached to the camera.
