To test the TTL function with analog 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., maximum ISO 1000) for TTL flash
operation (see your camera's operating instructions).

Fill-in flash
BL overcomes troublesome dense shadows for daylight shots
and produces a more balanced exposure between subject and background with
contre-jour shots. The camera's computer-controlled metering system sets the
most suitable combination of shutter speed, aperture and flash output. When
using a camera from Groups C, D and E (see table 1) with a D-AF Nikkor lens,
the distance to the subject is also calculated into the optimal flash performance.
