FEE
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 selec-
ted in these camera modes, „FEE" appears in the display as a warning and the
camera release is locked.
94
In manual flash mode M, the distance that
must be maintained from the subject for cor-
rect flash exposure is indicated. Adjustment
to the photographic situation at hand can be
achieved by, for example, changing the
aperture setting on the lens or selecting a
manual partial light output level (see 7.2).
The flash unit can indicate flash ranges of up
to 199 m or 199 ft. This display range can
be exceeded in the case of high ISO values
(e.g., ISO 6400) and large aperture ope-
nings. An arrow or triangle after the distan-
ce value indicates that the display range has
been exceeded.
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!
If this occurs, check the settings on the camera and/or the lens settings (see the
camera's operating instructions).
5.4 Underexposure warning „EV"
In certain modes („P" and „A", for example) some Group C, D and E cameras
(see Table 1) respond to an underexposed flash shot with a warning on the
display of the flash unit, indicating the amount of underexposure in f-stops (see
the camera's operating instructions).
If the correct exposure indication „OK"
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 display an „OK", or the flash sym-
bol will blink in the camera viewfinder, even though the exposure is correct.
In this instance, no indication will appear!
