must make the appropriate changes necessary for digtial and film capture. is change is

signified by a D symbol appearing in the top le FLASH section of the grip LCD.
When using the A or S setting together with flash, the exposure requirements of the camera

will dominate which might produce slow shutter speeds indoors, for example, requiring the

use of a tripod. If, on the other hand, you select P or Pv instead, then a shutter speed of 1/60

is automatically chosen by the camera enabling you to hand hold.
When using flash close up or when using larger aperture settings, remember that the flash

unit’s output has a specific minimum duration which might still be too great for correct

exposure. Read the unit’s output specifications for further information regarding any po-

tential restrictions.
You can use the flash metering capability with external flash units of all kinds (TTL flashes

must be set to Manual mode). e metering also works with digital backs.
Rear sync is a useful feature used either for effect or to produce a more ‘natural’ look when

combining long exposures involving light trails and flash.
When using suitable dedicated units (compatible with SCA3002), adjustments are made

automatically and governed by the settings on the camera. is applies to whether the flash

unit is set to TTL or whether it is set to its own integral metering system (A). However, when

using a digital back, the A mode on the flash unit is recommended.
Control of either the integral flash unit or separate SCA3002 compatible flash unit regard-

ing the two functions, exposure compensation and shutter sync, is via the grip. e flash

measure function can be used for flash units that are not SCA 3002 compatible or for SCA

3002 compatible units at manual setting.

Only flash units specially adapted for use with the H1D / H1 should be connected to

the hot shoe on the camera.
