4 OLED displays on the flash unit
4.1 Flash readiness indication
When the flash capacitor on the flash unit is char-
ged, the
button lights up in green, thus indi-
cating that the flash unit is ready.
This means that flash light can be used for the next
shot. Flash readiness is also transmitted to the
camera and indicated accordingly in the camera's
viewfinder.
If a photograph is taken before flash readiness
appears, then the flash unit will not be triggered. If
the camera has already switched to flash sync
speed, the shot may have the wrong exposure (see
13.1).
4.2 Correct exposure indication
If the exposure is correct, the OK symbol will light
up in the display for about 3 seconds - if the shot in
the flash modes i TTL ( ) and i TTL BL (
); see 7.2; 7.3) and automatic mode (see
7.1) were properly exposed!
If there is no exposure control indication after the
shot, then the photograph was underexposed.
In that case, you must:
- set the next smaller f-stop (e.g. use f-stop 8 inste-
ad of 11), or
- reduce the distance to the subject or to the reflec-
tion surface (e.g. for indirect flashes), or
- set a higher ISO value on the camera.
Note the maximum flash range indicated on the dis-
play of the flash unit (see 5.2).
