4. Manual Flash Mode

Fig. 7: Shot with direct flash light

In this mode the flashgun will emit its full power

. The flashgun can be adapted to the actual pic-

ture shooting situation by setting the corresponding aperture on the camera.

If the displayed value does not coincide with the actual distance, then the aperture have to be

changed accordingly.

Adjusting procedure for the manual flash mode:

Example: Flash-to-subject distance: 5 m

Film speed: ISO 100/21° (see fig.8)

• Adjust the camera according to the manufacturer’s operating instructions.

1 Turn the adjusting knob for film speed until the marker is positioned opposite the ISO film

speed.

• Switch on the flashgun with the main switch.

2 Set the selector dial to M.

The aperture to be adjusted is indicated on the scale above the given flash-to-subject

distance.

At a flash-to-subject distance of 5 m (as in our example), an aperture of f/8 has to be set on

the camera.

The adjusted aperture must be corrected when the wide-angle diffuser is used.
