7.2 Automatic TTL Fill-in flash mode
The automatic TTL fill-in flash mode is
activated by most cameras when the
automatic programme P is selected and by
Vari or subject programmes during daylight
(see camera operating manual).
Fill-in flash mode overcomes troublesome
shadows and produces a more balanced
exposure between subject and background
with contre-jour shots. The camera's
computer-controlled metering system sets
the most suitable combination of shutter
speed, aperture and flash output.
+
Ensure that the contre-jour light source does
not shine directly into the lens, as this will
interfere with the camera's TTL metering
system!
There is no setting or display for automatic
TTL fill-in flash in the flash unit.
