(TTL)
Choose a fl ash mode for TTL fl ash control:
•
FLASH AUTO: The fl ash fi res only as required; fl ash
level is adjusted according to subject brightness.
A p icon displayed when the shutter button is
pressed halfway indicates that the fl ash will fi re
when the photo is taken.
•
STANDARD: The fl ash fi res with every shot if pos-
sible; fl ash level is adjusted according to sub-
ject brightness. The fl ash will not fi re if not fully
charged when the shutter is released.
•
SLOW SYNC.: Combine the fl ash with slow shutter
speeds when photographing portrait subjects
against a backdrop of night scenery. The fl ash
will not fi re if not fully charged when the shutter
is released.

Control fl ash timing.
•
1ST CURTAIN: The fl ash fi res immediately after the
shutter opens (generally the best choice).
•
2ND CURTAIN: The fl ash fi res immediately before
the shutter closes.
•
AUTO FP(HSS): High-speed sync (compatible
units only). The camera automatically engages
front-curtain high-speed sync at shutter speeds
faster than the fl ash sync speed. Equivalent to
1ST CURTAIN when MULTI is selected for fl ash con-
trol mode.
