Wired Measurement using Flash Unitwith Synchro CordCumulative Measurement usingElectronic Flash UnitWired measurement is recommendable when you measure the flash lightfrom the subject position, or when the meter fails to register flash light inwireless (cordless) measurement; for example, close to a fluorescent lamp,or in high ambient condition, and so forth.When you are unable to obtain sufficient illumination with a single flash oryou try for special effects using a multiple exposure technique, there may becases that you wish to use your flash repeatedly. In such cases, you shouldset the meter to the cumulative measurement mode. Cumulativemeasurement is usable for both wireless (cordless) and wiredmeasurements for flash light.(2) Set the film speed (ISO) and shutterspeed (T) as shown in theparagraphs for “Preparing the Meterfor Operation”.(3) Connect the synchro cord to thesynchro terminal of meter and theflash unit.(4) Point the Lumisphare accuratelytoward the camera from the subjectposition, and press the measuringswitch to fire the flash.(5) The appropriate F-stop value isdisplayed on the meter (Fig. 18).For repeat measurement, pressthe measuring switch again.< NOTE >• The notes for wireless measurementare also applicable to wiredmeasurement.(1) Before pressing the measuringswitch, set the cumulativemeasurement mode by pressing themulti-measurement key. The symbolof MO is indicated on the display(Fig. 19).(2) Measure the flash light as shown inthe paragraphs for “Wireless(cordless) Measurement usingElectronic Flash Unit” or “WiredMeasurement using Flash Unit withSynchro Cord”.(3) The reading and the number ofcumulative frequency are displayedautomatically each time the flash isfired (Fig. 20). The maximumpossible cumulative flashes is 9. Ifthe flash is fired 10 or more times,the number of cumulative flashes isreplaced by E mark (Error) and nofurther reading is possible (Fig. 21).(4) To repeat the cumulativemeasurement, press the multimeasurement key once to releasethe current reading. And press themulti key again to prepare the freshreading.In case of wireless (cordless)measurement, pressing themeasuring switch can also releasethe current reading.• Memory display function (refer topage 20) is not usable if the meter isused in the cumulativemeasurement mode.1617
