5.2. Għażla tal-Mod
The Lux Senior offers two primary flash modes:
- A Mode (Automatic Flash): In this mode, the flash automatically adjusts its output based on the ambient light and camera settings. The default sensitivity is ISO100 and aperture F2.8. This mode simplifies operation, allowing the flash to determine the appropriate light output.
- M Mode (Manual Flash): This mode provides full manual control over the flash output. You can adjust the power dial to select from 7 different power levels. M mode also includes two optical slave functions:
- S1 Light-controlled Synchronous Flash Trigger: The flash will fire in response to the first flash from a master flash.
- S2 Light-controlled Anti-pre-flash Trigger: The flash will ignore the pre-flash from a master flash and fire in response to the main flash.
