7. Auto-Check Display
Fig. 10: Manual firing button Fig.11: Auto-check signal
The auto-check signal o.k. lights up only when the frame will be, or was, correctly exposed in
auto mode.
In this manner it is possible to manually fire a test flash while in auto mode so that the correct
aperture can be established beforehand. This is particularly valuable with bounced (indirect)
flash when reflection conditions are difficult to judge.
The test flash is triggered with the manual firing button (fig. 10).
If the auto-check display o.k. remains dark after a test flash, then adjust the next wider
aperture, or diminish the distance to the reflection surface of the subject, and then repeat the
test flash.
The f-stop established in this manner must also be set on the camera.
Hold the camera and the flashgun with photosensor in the same manner as for the
actual shot.
