A mode A: For Non-TTL Auto Flash operation, light is measured via light sensor in front of the flash unit. Usable apertures in A mode: f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8 and f/11 (at ISO 100) Shooting distance range in A mode: 0.6 - 20m (2 - 66 ft.) M mode D: For Manual Flash operation, light output amount can be varied from 1/1 (full) to 1/64 output (total of 18 steps in 1/3 increments). Flash sync mode selector: W position is used for front-curtain sync with all the cameras listed in this manual. q position is used for Rear-Curtain Sync flash with F5, F90X/N90s, F90-Series/N90, F70-Series/N70, F4Series, F-801/N8008 and F-801s/N8008s.
