Make sure that all connected flash units are fully charged Face the camera toward the subject on which you want to measure exposure and turn the pre flash lever The camera will automatically stop down the aperture and fire the flash but without taking a picture An error relative to the correct value will be displayed in a range of 2 EV on the flashmeter in the viewfinder e The light metering area is inside a 4 5mm circle in the center of the viewfinder a circle outside the microprism If the flashmeter indicates the correct value make sure the flash is fully charged and shoot If it indicates other values adjust the aperture so that it indicates the correct value and shoot If it is impossible to adjust the aperture or if the measured value blinks because the error exceeds 2 EV readjust the aperture and use pre flash again Because some large size flash units do not synchronize at 1 250 sec it is recommended to make preliminary tests before use e The pre flash is designed to fire by means of an electronic switch Therefore some flash units do not enable light metering by pre flash with the flashmeter berzeugen Sie sich da alle angeschlossenen Blitzger te vollst ndig aufgeladen sind Richten Sie die Kamera auf das Motiv auf dem der Belichtungswert gemessen werden soll und drehen Sie den Vorblitzschieber Danach schlieBt die Kamera die Blende automatisch und der Blitz wird ausgel st ohne eine Aufnahme
