The standard TTL flash mode is only supported by analogue cameras. To
test the TTL function with analogue 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., ISO 64 to ISO 1000) for TTL flash
mode (see your camera's operating instructions).

The E-TTL and E-TTL II flash modes are improvements upon the standard TTL flash
mode used by analogue cameras. During shooting, a barely visible measure-
ment pre-flash is emitted from the flash unit before the actual exposure. The
camera evaluates the reflected pre-flash light, so that the subsequent flash expo-
sure is optimally adapted to the prevailing photographic situation (see your
camera's operating instructions).
Depending on the camera model, the E-TTL or E-TTL II flash modes will be activa-
ted automatically after the E-TTL flash mode has been set in the "Mode menu".
After the setting has been saved, "E-TTL" appears on the flash unit display for
both modes.

produces a more balanced exposure between subject and background with con-

suitable combination of shutter speed, aperture and flash output.

In E
II mode, and with suitable lenses, the distance to the subject is also taken
into consideration in calculating the optimal flash output.
Depending on the type of camera and mode used, the fill-in flash mode will be
activated automatically by the camera. No special indication appears on the
