Clellan ZR-45, User Manual, Page: 13 / 22

When camera's metering mode is changed to spot metering while E-TTL Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash is
selected, the TTL mode automatically changes to the standard E-TTL mode. In such case, the TTL mode
automatically changes to the E-TTL Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash, after changing camera's metering mode

Insufficient light for correct exposure !! !
When the ZR-45 fires at full flash output level, ready-lights on the ZR-45 and in the camera’s viewfinder blink
for approx. three seconds after shooting.
In this case, underexposure may occur. To compensate the exposure, use a wider aperture or move closer
to the subject and reshoot.
Checking the correct exposure before shooting
1 Confirm the test firing indicator appears on the LCD.
2 Make the necessary settings on the ZR-45 and camera and press the test firing button to fire the
flash. Ready-lights blinking after shooting may indicate insufficient light for correct exposure. In this
case, set a wider aperture on the camera or lens, or move closer to the subject.
