Range display in manual flash mode
In manual flash mode , the distance that
must be maintained from the subject for cor-
rect flash exposure is indicated. Adjustment
to the photographic situation at hand can be
achieved by, for example, changing the aper-
ture setting on the lens or selecting a manual
partial light output level (see 6.3).
Exceeding the display range
Flash ranges of up to 99 m or 99 ft can be
shown in the display.
This display range can be exceeded in the
case of high ISO values and large aperture
openings.
An arrow or triangle after the distance value
indicates that the display range has been
exceeded.

6.1 P TTL flash mode ( )
Before shooting, the flash unit fires a series
of barely visible measuring preflashes.
The camera evaluates the reflected preflash
light. Depending on the result of the evalua-
tion, the subsequent flash exposure is adap-
ted by the camera to suit the given shot
situation (see camera operating instructions
for further details).
