and displays the result on the
digital readout. The reading is
also displayed on the analog

the sync terminal, the meter
measures and displays the

★ After confirming that the flash
is completely recharged, take
a reading.
★ If you change the shutter
speed setting after taking a
flash light reading, the FNo.
and quadrant proportion
indicator will change
accordingly.

shown on the quadrant proportion
indicator.
