MANUAL FLASH (M)
Normal TTL flash metering automati-
cally adjusts the flash intensity to pro-
vide the proper exposure for the sub-
ject. Manual flash provides a fixed
flash intensity irrespective of the
brightness of the subject and the
camera setting.
• Manual flash operates in the camera’s
M (manual) mode only. TTL measuring
is selected automatically in other
modes.
• As manual flash is not affected by the
reflectivity of the subject, it is conve-
nient for use with subjects with
extremely high or low reflectivity.
