Manual Guide Number Setting Mode
In this mode, the user can manually set the desired guide number when using a standard flash unit with hot
shoe, for fully automatic variable aperture synchronized flash exporures that make use of background
lighting as well as flash. (This function is also available in “P” mode with the dedicated flash unit.)
Press the SELECT button and
turn the Main Switch from
“OFF” to “P”.
While holding the SELECT
button down, press the UP or
DOWN buttons until the desired
flash guide number (“P (1.0 -
64)”) appears in the display
panel. When the setting is
completed, the display will read
“PFL”.
★
Turning the Main Switch back
to “OFF” cancels this mode.
The same guide number can be
reset manually, however, by
simply holding down the
SELECT button while turning
the Main Switch back on.
Note: If the guide number for your
flash unit does not match
the available settings,
choose the next lowest
setting. (Example: If desired
guide number is 24, select
23.)
