7 Flash modes
There are different flash modes available
depending on the camera type, for example
, , manual flash mode ,
, remote master , remote slave
flash mode as well as servo mode
.
The flash mode is set using the touch

A data transfer between flash unit and came-
ra is necessary before setting flash mode
and , e.g. by actuating the
shutter release.
7.1 E TTL- and E TTL II - flash mode
These flash modes offer a very simple
method of obtaining very good flash shots.
Here, the exposure is measured by a sensor
in the camera.
It measures the light reflected by the subject
through the lens (TTL = "Through The Lens").
If the shot was exposed correctly, the correct
exposure indication will illuminate for about
5 seconds (see 4.2).
Please note whether there are limitations for
your camera in terms of film sensitivity for
E TTL flash mode (for example, ISO 64 to ISO
1000; see camera's operating instructions)!
