When the SPEEDLITE 300P is used on XR-P, pro daylight flash can be

easily accomplished even by novice photographers. (Fig. 58)

1. Set the flash unit on the camera, set the flash A/M (Auto/Manual)

selector to "A" and turn the power ON-OFF switch ON.

2. Set the camera in the program AE photography mode.

When fully charged, the Flash Ready Indicator (red LED) lights in the

viewfinder and the shutter speed is set automatically to 1/125 sec. Then,

the f-stop number is displayed in the viewfinder. Now you can shoot (if

you don't see an overexposure (up arrow) mark).

* The Shutter Speed Dial set to "A" can be changed to manual shutter

speeds (1/1 25 sec. or lower). Use longer manual speeds to give correct

exposure to the background in a room or other dark place.

MORE EXCITING XR-P/300P APPLICATIONS

(Aperture-priority flash photography)

When the Speedlight 300P for Ricoh XR-P is used, direct film metering is available with all f-stop numbers for

total creative depth of field control. Use F2 or F2.8 to take a distance subject or to redirect flash charge time. Use

F-11 or F-16 to increase depth of field.

* Check the Correct Auto Flash indicator to verify that the flash worked properly after shooting.

DEPTH OF FIELD

(GENERAL GUIDE LINES)

When you focus on a specific subject, often subjects in the near

foreground and in the distance are also in focus. The region of good focus

has some measurable depth, or "depth of field" as shown here.

1. Focus depth in the near foreground is narrow and deeper with

distance.4www.butkus.org

2. Greater depth of field is obtained with smaller lens opening and a wider

range of good focus is provided.

3. A lens of shorter focal length (wider angle) produces a greater depth of

field. A greater depth is obtained with a wide angle lens (E.G. 28 mm) and

a smaller depth is obtained with a telephoto lens (E.G. 135 mm).
