WITH SPEEDLITE PX/300P/260P
(APERTURE-PRIORITY FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY)
When you add any of the above Ricoh dedicated flash systems, direct film metering is possible at all F-
stops for total distance and creative depth -of-field control. For example, manually use F2 or F2.8 to take
a distant subject or to reduce flash recycle time; or use F11 or F16 to increase your depth-of-field or
work very close to your subject.
* Check the Viewfinder and flash indicator (300P/260P only) to verify that the flash exposed
properly or while shooting. If the flash shot was made with correct exposure, the Viewfinder flash
ready indicator blinks for about one second. When it does not blink, exposure is not correct.
Change conditions (F- stop, distance, etc.) and try again.
* You can also change program modes to suit the subject of your photograph.
1. Set the program mode to PD for increased depth-of- field, close
up photography, etc. F-stop will be automatically set to F11. (Fig.
97)
2. Set the program mode to P for general flash photography. F-stop
will be automatically set to F5.6.
