5.2.2 Range display in manual flash mode
In manual flash mode , the distance that must be
maintained from the subject for correct flash expo-
sure is indicated. Adjustment to the photographic
situation at hand can be achieved by, for example,
changing the aperture setting on the lens or selec-
ting a manual partial light output level (see 7.4).
5.2.3 Exceeding the display range
Flash ranges of up to 99 m or 99 ft can be shown in
the display.
This display range can be exceeded in the case of
high ISO values and large aperture openings.
An arrow or triangle after the distance value indicates
that the display range has been exceeded.
5.2.4 „FEE“ error display
On some camera models and/or some camera
modes (for example, program „P“, vari-programs,
automatic aperture S), it is necessary to set the
aperture ring of the lens to the maximum f-number.
Otherwise the error message „FEE“ will appear on
the flash unit or camera and the camera shutter
release will be blocked!
Some camera models do not support the manual
flash mode M in the camera mode program P and
the vari- or subject programs.
If the flash mode M is selected in these camera
modes, „FEE“ appears in the display as a warning
and the camera release is locked.
If this occurs, check the settings on the camera
and/or the lens settings (see the camera’s opera-
ting instructions).
5.2.5 Underexposure warning
„EXP.“
In certain modes ("P" and "A", for example) some
cameras respond to an underexposed flash shot
with a warning on the display of the flash unit, indi-
cating the amount of underexposure in f-stops (see
the camera's operating instructions).
If the correct exposure indication does not light up
on the flash unit after a flash shot is taken, or if the
flash symbol blinks in the camera viewfinder, then
the display of the flash unit will briefly indicate the
underexposure in f-stops ranging from -0.3 EV to -
3.0 EV in one-third increments.
In borderline instances the flash unit will not dis-
play an "OK", or the flash symbol will blink in the
camera viewfinder, even though the exposure is
correct. In this instance, no indication will appear!
To enable underexposure warnings, the TTL mode
must be set on the flash unit!
