Setting procedure:

• Press the

button until „Mode“ flashes on the

LC display.

• Set the flash mode

using the

and

arrows. The flash mode you choose is then highligh-

ted.

The setting takes effect immediately.

• Press the button

to change the display back to

the normal view. If the button

is not pressed, the

display will change back to the normal view after

about 5 seconds.

If the shot was properly lit, the correct exposure indica-

tion ተ will flash „OK“ for about 3 seconds (see 13).

To test the TTL function with analog cameras, a roll of film has to be in the
camera. Please note whether there are limitations for your camera in
terms of film sensitivity or ISO (i.e., maximum ISO 1000) for TTL flash
operation (see your camera’s operating instructions).

5.3 TTL fill-in flash mode

Fill-in flash

overcomes troublesome dense shadows for daylight shots

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. When

using a camera from Groups C, D and E (see table 1) with a D-AF Nikkor lens,

the distance to the subject is also calculated into the optimal flash performance.

If the shot was properly lit, the correct exposure indica-

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.

Depending on the camera model, the suitable fill-in flash mode will be automa-

tically activated after

flash mode has been set:

Group A:
• Automatic fill-in flash mode or matrix-controlled fill-in flash mode
• Either set automatically or manually on the camera (see camera’s operating

instructions)

• Display on flash unit:
• No extra settings are necessary on the flash unit, nor is there any display for

this mode.
