4.3 Flash mode display
The configured operating mode will be
shown by the appropriate illuminated LED
e.g. TTL mode.
5 Flash modes
Depending on camera type different TTL
flash modes, manual mode and remote
slave mode are available.
Flash mode can be configured via the
appropriate TTL, M or SL button.
In order to configure TTL modes and
manual mode, data transfer must take
place between the flash unit and the
camera e.g. by lightly depressing the
camera shutter.
5.1 TTL flash modes
In TTL modes, excellent flash exposure is
straight-forward. In TTL mode, flash mete-
ring is taken care of by a sensor in the
camera. It measures reflected light through
the lens (TTL).
This enables the camera to automatically
determine the flash output required for
correct exposure of the shot.
The benefit of TTL flash modes is that all
factors which could influence the exposure
(filters, changes to aperture and focal
M
SL
length for zoom objectives, extensions for
close-ups etc.) are automatically taken into
TTL
account through flash light adjustment.
If the shot is correctly lit, the button
will light up red for 3 seconds (see 4.2).
Please check whether there are any
limitations for your camera type regar-
ding the ISO value for TTL mode
(e.g. ISO 64 – ISO 1000, see camera
operating instructions).
