Specifications

·When the subject is too far away for a proper exposure, however, the aperture setting will flash in the viewfinder as a
warning. To obtain a proper exposure, open the aperture ring manually until the flashing ceases.
·In the programmed AE/shutter speed priority AE modes
(at ASA 100, with 50mm F/1.4 EF lens and Mamiyaite MZ 36R)
In the programmed AE or shutter speed priority AE modes, the aperture
changes automatically in relation to the focusing distance. Up to 12.5
meters, flash energy remains at one half of full (GN 18); beyond 12.5
meters, flash intensity automatically increases to full (GN 36).
"Out of Auto Flash Range" Warning When the focusing distance is
less than 1.1m, "16" will flash in the viewfinder to indicate that the
subject is too close for flash; beyond 26m, "1.4" will flash to indicate
that the subject is beyond the maximum flash range.
Automatic Flash Synch Setting
In the shutter speed priority AE and manual modes:
1. The shutter speed is automatically set at a flash synch speed of 1/60
sec. after the flash unit has recharged, even if the dial has been set for a
faster shutter speed.
2. When the preselected shutter speed is slower than 1/60 sec., the
exposure will be made at the speed in use. Use of slower shutter speeds
is useful for long exposures where additional exposure of the
background is desired.
(B) Flash AE Crossover with E Lenses
The EF lens performs in the same way as the E lens whenever you set the focusing distance priority switch of the EF
lens to OFF.
Procedures in the programmed AE/shutter speed priority AE modes:
1. Switch the flash unit on and press the shutter button partway. The
camera will automatically set the lens aperture according to the film speed
(f/8 at ASA 100, f/16at ASA 400), and the maximum auto flash range for
the aperture is indicated in meters in the viewfinder after the flash has
charged.
2. When the indicated distance is not sufficient to cover your subject, open
the aperture until the distance indication is adequate to cover your subject.
Procedures in the aperture priority AE/manual mode:
1. Set the aperture ring at the desired aperture, for example f/4.
2. Switch the flash unit ON and press the shutter button partway. When the
flash has charged, "EF" will appear in the viewfinder and the maximum
auto flash range for the aperture in use will be indicated in meters.
3. When your subject is beyond the auto flash range indicated for the
aperture in use, open the aperture ring to a wider aperture until your subject
is within the indicated range. A
t maximum aperture, the distance indication
given is the maximum auto flash range for the lens in use. 4www.butkus.org
