12.3 Flash exposure memory FE

Several cameras feature a flash exposure
memory (FE; Flash-Exposure). The flash unit
supports this during i TTL flash mode.
It can be used to define and store the expo-
sure level for the subsequent shot before the
k
shot is actually taken. This can be useful
when, for example, the flash exposure has to
be adjusted to specific details that may not
be necessarily be identical with the main
subject.
This function is activated on the camera.
The subject details for the flash exposure are
measured and brought into focus by the
cameraís AF sensor/metering window.
Pressing the cameraís FE button (the
description varies from camera to camera;
see camera operating manual) causes the
flash unit to fire an FE test flash.

can bring out highlights in
together with the
wideangle diffuser from above out of the
reflector head and forwards.
and push the
wide-angle diffuser back into the
reflector head.
The stored metering value, for example „EL",
is then displayed in the camera viewfinder.
The camera uses the reflected light of the
test flash to determine the light output requi-
red for the subsequent exposure. The actual
main subject can then be brought into focus
with the camera's AF sensor/metering wind-
ow. When the shutter release is pressed, the
picture will be exposed with the previously
defined light output of the flash unit!
The flash exposure memory FE is not suppor-
ted during the green fullyautomatic pro-
gramme, the Vari programme and the subject
programmes! Further details regarding set-
tings and handling can be found in the
camera operating manual!
