7.1 TTL flash mode ( )
Before shooting, the flash unit fires a series
of barely visible measuring preflashes.
The camera evaluates the reflected preflash
light. Depending on the result of the evalua-
tion, the subsequent flash exposure is adap-
ted by the camera to suit the given shot
situation (see camera operating instructions
for further details).
If the shot was exposed correctly, the correct
exposure indication will illuminate for about
3 seconds (see 4.2).
