10.3 Flash exposure memory
Some Group C cameras (see Table 1)
have flash exposure memory (FV memo-
ry).
This is supported by the flash unit in i-TTL
and i-TTL BL flash mode. It can be used
to define and store the exposure level for
the subsequent shot before the shot is
actually taken. This can be useful when,
for example, the flash exposure has to
be adjusted to specific details that may
not be necessarily be identical with the
main subject.
The function is activated on the camera,
in some instances as an individual func-
98
can bring out high-
together with
from above
and push
back into
tion. The subject detail to which the flash
exposure is to be adjusted is sighted and
brought into focus with the AF
sensor/metering window in the camera.
When the AE-L/AF-L button (the termi-
nology may vary with the camera
model) on the camera is pressed, the
flash unit fires a test flash.
The stored metering value, for example
„EL", is then displayed in the camera
viewfinder. The camera uses the reflected
light of the test flash to determine the
light output required for the subsequent
exposure.
The actual main subject can then be
brought into focus with the camera's
AF sensor/metering window. When the
shutter release is pressed, the picture will
be exposed with the previously defined
light output of the flash unit!

adjustments and handling, refer to the
camera's operating instructions!
