How the heck do you scroll into Aperture Priority mode while using the last icon (wireless flash setting)

I see how to scroll between Tv and Av in ambient mode or am I missing my brain somewhere?

with flash/strobe, you only change the ISO and shutter, the meter tells you the aperture/fstop

lets say the flash is at 1/4 power, and you fire off the flash and meter says f/5.6... you either set your camera at f/5.6 or if you want to use f/8, you simply turn the flash power to 1/2

In flash mode, it assumes you are working in aperture mode simply because flash is less affected by shutter speed (all of your flash contribution comes in a short burst).

:confused: That last post confused even me! 'Aperture mode' usually means that YOU choose APERTURE, and that is not what you do with any flashmeter. With any flashmeter, you choose ISO and shutter speed, and the meter tells you the aperture that needs to be used for the amount of light being sent of from the flash.

I meant that you are using the meter to determine the aperture, because shutter speed is less of a factor.
