Basic OperationBasic Operation
● If the flash does not fire within approx. one minute after the meter goes
into flash waiting mode, or if you press any button other than the
measuring button during this time, the NON CORD mode symbol will
stop blinking (stay on). Then, even if you fire the flash, no reading will be
made. To change back to flash waiting mode, press the measuring
button again.
Note that while in flash waiting mode, the meter may make incorrect
readings if it mistakes an intermittent light source such as fluorescent
lights as a flash, or if a reading is triggered mistakenly for any other
reason.
★ Fire the flash according to the directions given in the users' manual
for the flash.
★ If you change the shutter speed setting after taking a flash light
reading, the FNo. and quadrant proportion indicator will change
accordingly.
