FEATURES OF THE AF 200S The AF 200S is a cordless-type automatic flash unit featuring manual override which may be used with all cameras featuring direct hotshoe contact. When used in the auto mode, it features an electronic "eye" which measures the light reflected from the subject and controls flash brillance for correct exposures. Thus, anyone can use it to obtain perfect flash exposures easily and efficiently. Moreover, a high flash head helps to prevent "red-eye," and its functional design permits film rewind with the flash unit mounted to the camera. Atli 0 FLASH CHARACTERISTICS The AF 200S features two-way auto flash output selection. Even when you change the distance between the subject and the camera, as long as the subject remains within the effective flash range, correct exposure can be obtained without changing the f-number. 7 "DEDICATED" AUTO FLASH While the AF 200S works equally as well with all cameras featuring standard "X" hotshoe synch, owners of the Pentax ME -SUPER, ME -F, MV, MV-1 and other late model Pentax cameras have the additional advantage of "dedicated" flash. With these cameras, your AF -200S will synchronize automatically for flash on charging. In addition to the flash ready lamp on the hack of the flash, an LED inside the camera viewfinder will light up to let you know your flash is ready without the need to remove your eye from the viewfinder. Check your camera's instruction manual to see if it offers the benefit of "dedicated" auto flash with the A F -200S. Cameras which do not offer "dedicated" flash operation with the AF -200S can he synchronized at the camera's standard flash synch speed in both Auto arid Manual Flash Modes; the ready lamp on the back of the flash unit informs you when your flash has charged. Other aspects of flash operation for both types of cameras are identical.
