Pronea 600i/6i)
This mode automatically controls flash output to keep both subject and
background correctly exposed when D or non-D-type AF Nikkor lenses are
used. The camera's Matrix Metering System determines the correct
exposure based on the ambient light. Flash illumination brightens the main
foreground subject but does not overpower the background.
Center-Weighted/Spot Fill-Flash
(Applicable to F5, F4-Series, F100, F90X/N90s, F90-Series/N90, F70-Series/N70,
F60-Series/N60,F50-Series/N50, F-801s/N8008s, F-801/N8008, F-601/N6006, F-

/N6000, F-401x/N5005)
This mode operates with Center-Weighted or Spot metering. Center-
weighted fill-flash measures the entire scene, but places emphasis on the
center area. Spot fill-flash reads a narrower central area or spot. Not all
Nikon AF cameras provide spot fill-flash.
Programmed TTL Auto Flash
(Applicable to F-501/N2020, F-401s/N4004s, F-401/N4004, F-301/N2000)
In this mode, you can perform auto flash operation with the lens set to its
minimum aperture (highest f-number). The camera automatically controls
the aperture according to the ISO film speed.
Standard TTL Flash
(Applicable to F5, F4-Series, F100, F90X/N90s, F90-Series/N90,
F80-Series/N80-Series, F70-Series/N70, F65-Series/N65-Series, F-801s/N8008s,
F-801/N8008, F-601/N6006, F-601

You manually select a flash output level so that the main subject is correctly
exposed regardless of the background brightness. This system is not
designed to automatically provide a balance between flash and ambient
light; it is limited to efficient operation in dim-light conditions and is not
recommended for use in very bright lighting conditions. This system does
not directly link the camera’s light meter and the SB-28’s TTL sensor.
