8. If the flash exposure is correct, the Flash Ready Indicator blinks for
about one second. (Fig. 62)
If exposure is not correct when it does not blink. Change conditions (F-
stop, distance, etc.) and try shooting again.
9. To remove the flash, depress the Lock Release Button and pull the
flash in the direction of arrow. (Fig. 63)
* When you are close to your subject, very little flash power is needed,
therefore the flash recycle time will be very fast. If your subject is very far
away, it will take more flash power to be properly illuminated, and require
longer re-cycle times.
* The Speedlite PX contains no batteries. It obtains its power from the
batteries in the camera's handgrip. If the flash recycle time becomes
excessive, replace the camera batteries as soon as possible (using the
battery indicator on the LCD to monitor battery condition).
* Do not use the Speedlite PX in combination with the Continuous Exposure Mode because the
flash will be unable to recycle fast enough to make three exposures per second.
* Refer to the PX Flash Operating Instructions for more creative techniques and technical details.
