8.1 Fill-in flash
When in the "Program" [P] camera mode, the
camera's metering system will automatically con-
trol the shutter speed/aperture combination so
that use of the mecablitz will soften the shadows
and produce a balanced exposure when shooting
against the light. However the camera may also
measure sufficient ambient light and activate the
triggering lock (see page.28). Please observe the
corresponding displays in the camera's viewfin-
der. For details refer to the camera's operating
instructions.
8. Flash techniques and flash functions
Fill-in flash in daylight will soften harsh shadows
and diminish the contrast, thereby producing a
more balanced exposure when shooting against the
light. The camera's computer-controlled metering
system automatically selects the shutter speed,
working aperture and light output in such a manner
that both the main subject in the foreground as well
as the background are uniformly exposed.

8.2 Exposure correction

Various cameras enable the user to influence the TTL
exposure control. Accordingly, the camera's expo-
sure settings can be corrected by up to ± 3 aper-
tures (in half f-stop settings).
PLEASE NOTE: Do not forget to switch off
this function when it is no longer required!
Please refer to the camera's operating instructions
for further details.
