AUTO
f!1
In
this mode, light
is
read through the light sensor
on
the front
of
the
S8
-24, instead
of
being measured through the lens.
Exposure control requires that you manually adjust the lens
aperture. For non-TTL auto flash mode, see pages 66 to 68.

REPEATING
FLASH
lillI
This
mode lets you flash a subject two or more times
consecutively
in
the same frame. It enables you to select the
number of flashes, flash speed (Hz) and
power-either
1/8 or
1/16.
For
detailed instructions on repeating flash, see pages
77
to 80.
FLASH
SYNC
MODE
SEl.!ECTOR-
The S8-24 offers two types of flash synchronization,
REAR
and
NORMAL.
NORMAL synchronization, the way virtually all other systems
operate, fires the flash at the beginning of the exposure.
REAR
synchronization, available with the Nikon
F4
or
F-8011
N8008, fires the flash at the end of the exposure.
For short exposure (speeds up
to
1/250 second) you can barely
tell the difference between the two methods. For longer expo-
sures, however, when subject movement during the exposure
becomes evident, you can clearly see the difference.
Rear synchronization tends to give a more natural effect,
making the blur of subject movement appear to emanate from
the back for a more comfortable visual effect.
For details, see page 48.
