Focus on the subject and note the subject distance on the lens’ focus ring. Adjust the lens’ aperture until
the distance indicated on the LCD panel of the flash is equal to the camera to subject distance.
When you use with cameras other than the above
Focus on the subject and note the subject distance on the lens’ focus ring. Adjust either the flash power
level or the flash’s F stop display. Please refer to the following on how to change the flash’s F-stop.
1. Press the SEL button several times and make the F-stop indicator blink.
2. Press the + button or – button to set the F-stop display.

camera-to-subject distance become about equal.
Then set the aperture value of the lens via lens’ aperture ring or cameras command dial.
◆
You can calculate the correct exposure by using this formula.
Guide Number “GN” / Flash to Subject Distance = F-stop
This flash unit will calculate and indicate the Subject Distance by following the above formula. (Please refer
to table1 on the last page).
