ADI: Advanced Distance Integration
TTL: Through the lens

• When the distance between the subject and the external flash (not supplied) cannot be determined,

(wireless flash shooting using an external flash (not supplied), shooting with an off-camera flash using a
cable, shooting with a macro twin flash, etc.) the camera automatically selects Pre-flash TTL mode.

• Select [Pre-flash TTL] in the following cases, as the camera cannot obtain accurate distance information

with ADI flash.

– A wide panel is attached to the HVL-F36AM flash.
– A diffuser is used for flash shooting.
– A filter with an exposure factor, such as an ND filter, is used.
– A close-up lens is used.

• ADI flash is only available in combination with the lens that is provided with a distance encoder. To

determine the lens is equipped with a distance encoder, refer to the operating instructions supplied with
the lens.

A pre-flash is fired right before shooting, and the camera sets
the amount of flash light by measuring the amount of
reflected light from the pre-flash and the associated distance
information.

Pre-flash TTL

A pre-flash is fired right before shooting, and the camera sets
the amount of flash light by measuring only the amount of
reflected light from the pre-flash. The distance information is
not used in the calculation.

Manual flash

The built-in flash fires with certain amount of flash light
regardless of the brightness of a subject. This option is
disabled when [Autoflash] is selected.
