Automatic fill-in flash operation in the TTL operating modes
The automatic fill-in flash mode is activated by most cameras when the automa-
tic programme P is selected and by Vari or subject programmes during daylight
(see camera operating manual).
Fill-in flash mode overcomes troublesome shadows and produces a more balan-
ced exposure between subject and background with contre-jour shots. The
camera's computer-controlled metering system sets the most suitable combina-
tion of shutter speed, aperture and flash output.
Ensure that the contre-jour light source does not shine directly into the
lens, as this will interfere with the camera's TTL metering system!
There is no setting or display for automatic fill-in flash in the flash unit.
