Please tell me which flash meter you use. I have the 5600HS(D); to
date I've found no way to use it with a flash meter. I can't, for
example, connect it to my Minolta Spotmeter F. The flash does not
have a standard sync connecter.


You have to use a flash meter that has an auto (or non-cord) mode
that detects the flash going off. Thence set the flash manually
as needed, using the TEST button to fire and check the meter
reading. The Spotmeter F does not have this non-cord
capability... (See my replies to you of June 16).

I use the Minolta Auto Meter VF meter, which I don't reccomend as
the non-CORD mode requires that you reset it by hand each time
which is a pain when setting lights. (It can also be used with a
sync cable of course) A real "auto" flash meter that detects and
reports each occurance of flash would be much better. (I still
regret selling the Sekonic 508L, sigh).

Cheers,
Alan
