The flash will fire and the measured value (F-stop) will be displayed.
All flashes in the same Studio Address will fire even if a particular Lamp Address is
selected.
NOTICE
In case of the following, please follow “Cord Flash Mode” (
).
● When firing the flash, if the flash brightness is lower than the ambient light, the meter
may fail to detect the light.
● Rapid start fluorescent lamps and special lighting are sometimes mistaken for flash and
accidentally measured.
● Even if the flash does not fire, when a sudden light change occurs in the light receptor,
measurement may be made.
● The waveform of a flash bulb has a slight slope and there is a possibility that the light
meter cannot recognize the flash bulb.
NOTE
● With broncolor radio system, individual flash triggering is not available for each Lamp
Address. All flashes in the same Studio Address will fire even if a particular Lamp
Address is selected. For measuring the flash individually, turn off the power of flash units
not in use. Or use the retracted lumisphere of L-858D to measure the light in front while
all flashes fire.
● For red-eye prevention and auto-flash light adjustment, some devices can pre-flash
before main flash burst. With the normal setting, the light meter will measure the pre-
flash bursts and not the main flash burst. To take a successful reading, activate the pre-
flash feature in the Tool Box. Please refer to the L-858D Operating Manual.
