Some cameras merge the available ambient light
and the flash light in the Program P mode, and
determine whether - depending on camera pro-

light source or merely as fill-in light. The camera
automatically sets a shutter/aperture combination
and controls the flash in TTL mode.

the flash will not be fired when the camera’s
shutter release is pressed.

fired with each shot. For more details please
