5-2. Measuring in Flash Light Mode

Flash illumination is light that is produced by the very brief light pulse of an electronic flash 
unit or flash bulb. Flash measurement is available in the following modes: 

•

Cord (PC) Flash Mode (PC/synchro cord connected) 

•

Cordless Flash Mode 

•

Cord Multiple (Cumulative) Flash Mode 

•

Cordless Multiple (Cumulative) Flash Mode

•

Radio Flash Mode (for L-478DR Series only)

•

Radio Multi (Cumulative) Flash Mode (for L-478DR Series only)

Also see 4-3 Setting Measuring Mode (P25) for details on changing Measuring mode.

1.   Screen Display Details

 

When flash light is measured, f-stop (Ambient 
brig Flash brightness = total 
exposure) is displayed on screen. The ratio of 
flash light to the total exposure is displayed 
at that time as a percentage in 10% steps.

   Analog scale displays the relationship of both 

the ambient component (orange line) and 
flash component (blue).

2.  About the Analog Scale Details
   Touch the Analog scale to toggle the ambient/flash component ratio display ON or 

OFF. 

3.  Flash Analyzing Function 

   

When measuring Flash light, the shutter speed 
and f-stop (aperture) value, which is combining 
ambient light and flash light: total amount of 
light, are displayed on the LCD screen. 

   Ambient light and flash light are each 

displayed as separate values along with the 
total amount of light on the analog scale. 

   

In addition, the ratio of flash light to the total 
amount of light is displayed  as a percentage (in 
10 % steps) at the same time. The ratio of flash 
to the total amount of light is useful when a 
desired flash to ambient lighting ratio is needed.

  <Example>
    As in the screen on the right, if shutter speed is 1/125s and ISO sensitivity is 400, 

the flash component and tungsten lamp light will be 50% each. Likewise, the 
respective measuring results in the Analog Scale for flash light (blue) and Ambient 

Light (orange) will denote this.
