6.5 SPOTBEAM mode
In the SPOTBEAM mode, the AF measuring
beam can be used to focus on a subject at
low ambient light level without firing a flash
when the shot is taken.
There is no flash-ready indicator in
SPOTBEAM mode and no exposure control
indicator in the camera viewfinder. The came-
ra is not set to its sync speed and behaves as
though there were no flash unit connected.
SpotBeam mode is only activated when the
flash unit is switched on and is flash-ready
(check the flash-ready indicator on the flash
unit!).
When the camera shutter is released, no
flash is fired.
Please read the notes on the AF measuring
beam in chapter 10.3 AF-BEAM.
