USING THE COLOUR FILTERS:
When you use the filters some light is blocked
off so that the camera lens must be opened
wider than indicated by the guide number scale.
lf the flash is used as an addition or auxilliary
light source (e.9. as a fill-in flash) the lens need
not be opened as far as when the flash gun is
the main source of light. Colour filters can
only be used on the manual setting.
