(d) Set the camera lens to f4.0 position.

(e) Set the flash unit mode selector dial to

the red position.

NOTE

Bouncing off surfaces such as curtains or

acoustical tile ceilings will add to the

effective distance between flash unit,

reflective surface, and subject, because

they absorb light. Check that the auto-

matic mode operating distance covers

this effective distance.

(f) Slide the flash unit on-off switch to the

RED ON position and focus the camera.

(g) Take the picture when the green ready

light comes on.
