4 LED displays on the flash unit
4.1 Flash readiness indication
When the flash capacitor on the flash unit is
charged, the
ቧ button lights up in green,
thus indicating that the flash unit is ready.
This means that flash light can be used
for the next shot. Flash readiness is also
transmitted to the camera and indicated
accordingly in the camera's viewfinder.
If a photograph is taken before flash
readiness appears, then the flash unit will
not be triggered. If the camera has already
switched to flash sync speed, the shot may
have the wrong exposure (see 13.1).
4.2 Correct exposure indication
If the exposure is correct, then button ቨ
lights up in red for around 3 seconds if the
photograph has been correctly exposed in
flash modes TTL and TTL FP (see 7.1)!
If there is no exposure control indication
after the shot, then the photograph was
underexposed. In that case, you must:
- set the next smaller f-stop (e.g. use f-stop 8
instead of 11), or
