3.3 Manual flash mode M
The flash light is not controlled by a sensor when
in manual flash mode "M". Instead, the full or par-
tial light output of the flash unit is used.
The manual flash mode M is set on the flash unit
(see operating instructions for the flash unit). The
Winder W and Stroboscopic modes are manual
flash modes.
The cameras E-10, E-20P and E-20N do not
support the manual flash mode M in the ca-
mera modes Program P and shutter priority S!

Set "M" or a partial light output on the flash unit.
Use the aperture calculator to establish the neces-
sary working aperture.
In the camera modes "A" and "M" the aperture
established on the flash unit must be set manually
on the camera.
When in camera mode "M", a shutter speed has to
be additionally set that is either the same or
slower than the camera's flash sync speed (see
camera manual). Use a tripod to eliminate camera
shake when using slow shutter speeds.
