5 Flash modes
Depending on the camera or flash unit type, various TTL
flash modes and the SLAVE flash mode are available.
The video light can be switched on for videos.
The flash mode is set by using the assigned TTL, SLAVE
or LED button.
A data transfer between flash unit and camera is neces-
sary before setting TTL flash mode e.g. by actuating the
shutter release.
5.1 TTL operating modes
The TTL flash modes offer a simple method of obtaining
very good flash shots. In TTL flash mode, 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"). Here the camera automati-
cally determines the flash performance required for a
correct exposure of the shot.
The advantage of the TTL flash mode is that all factors
influencing exposure (e.g. filters, change of aperture
and focal length changes with zoom lens, extensions for
close-ups, etc.) are automatically taken into account in
adjusting the flash light.
If the shot is exposed correctly, the STATUS LED
up in red for approx. 3 seconds (see 4.2).
To define the range of the flash unit, see table
