Selecting the Base Mode for Flash
The following instructions for Flash AE Crossover operations are divided into two main sections: (A) Flash AE with
EF Lenses and (B) Flash AE with E Lenses. With both types of lenses, all three regular AE modes may be used for
flash AE photography. With EF lenses, however, the aperture priority AE mode is preferable to the others since it
saves flash energy. While basic operating methods are explained here using the Mamiyalite MZ 36R as an example,
procedures for the MZ 18R are similar. For detailed operating instructions, refer to the instructions accompanying the
flash unit.
(A) Flash AE Crossover with EF Lenses
Procedures in the aperture priority AE mode:
1. Attach the flash unit to the camera and the crossover switch to its normal position (flush with camera).
2. Set the aperture ring to the desired aperture setting, f/4 for instance.
3. Set the shutter speed dial to "A".
4. Set the focusing distance priority switch at the base of the EF lens to ON by clicking it as far as it will go in the
direction of the arrow.
