MANUAL FLASH EXPOSURES The AF 200S also features manual flash for special shooting situations when it is necessary to override the auto flash sensor. Moreover, because full flash output is always used for manual flash, it permits use of a smaller lens aperture when the subject is near, which is especially useful for close-up shooting requiring maximum depth of field. 1. Set the AUTO/MANUAL selector to the white (MAN) setting. 2. After focusing on your subject, determine the subject distance on the lens' distance scale. Tli, look up the corresponding figure on the distance scale of the flash unit's control panel, and set the lens' aperture ring to agree with the f-number opposite the subject distance on the control panel. 3. Switch the flash unit on and take the picture atter the ready lamp lights. Flash charge is indicated by the flash ready lamp on the back of the flash unit only. 12 The indications on the control panel are painted on. They will nib off if you clean the unit with harsh cleaning solutions. Thus, wipe the control panel frequently with a soft dry cloth so that wet cleaning is unnecessary. Avoid cleaning the unit with cleaning solutions such as alcohol, thinner, household cleaners, etc. m ft 21 BO 20 85 1444 10 32 7 14 X wo 15 12 t 25 1.5 1 4 OJ /X e'zi; `.1 • • 8 54 4 281.1
