The flash sync speed and aperture value
TV/S
Select this mode when you want to set the shutter speed manually . The
camera then autmatically set the aperture matching the shutter speed to
obtain a standard exposure . If the aperture display blinks, it means that
the background exposure will be underexposed or overexposed . Adjust
the shutter speed until the aperture display stops blinking .
AV/A
Select this mode to manually set the aperture value . The camera is automati-
cally set to match the aperture shutter speed to achieve standard exposure .
If the background is dark (such as at night), a slow sync speed will be used
to obtain a standard exposure of both, the main subject and background .
Use the MASTER flash for the standard exposure of your subject . Use the
slow shutter background exposure standards . Since a slow shutter speed will
be used for low-light scenes, using a tripod is recommended . If the shutter
speed display blinks, the background will be under- or overexposed . Adjust
the aperture until the shutter speed display stops blinking .
M
Select this mode if you want to set both, the shutter speed and the
aperture manually . Use the MASTER flash for standard exposure . The
exposure of the background is obtained with the shutter speed and
aperture combination you have set .
1/X seconds is the camera‘s maximun flash sync speed .
