Nikon SB-24 Digital Camera User Manual


 
The
88-24
is
capable
of
several
different automatic
fill-flash
methods
.
The
method
you
choose
depends
on
the
Nikon
8LR
model
you
use
, lighting conditions, subject
movement
and
the
esthetic
qualities
you
wish
to
achieve
. Carefully consider
each

MATRIX
BALANCED
FILL-FLASH
This
is
a feature
of
Nikon
8LR
models
having
mUlti
-
segment
light
meters
(Matrix meter).
The
camera's
Matrix
meter
reads
the
scene
's light
levels
and
light patterns,
and
signals
the
computer
,
wh
i
ch
then
calculates
the
available-light
exposure
settings
.
When
the
shutter
is
released
,
the
camera's
TTL
sensor
senses
available light
and
flash
illumination,
then
relays
the
information
to
the
computer,
which
automatically controls
the
flash
operation
.
The
computer automatically determines
the
appropriate
amount
of
flash
exposure
compensation
to
use
.
When
the
computer
senses
just
the
right
amount
of
flash
illumination
for
a balanced
fill-flash
exposure
(based
on
the
automat
ic compensation control),
the
flash
is
turned
off.
The
result
is
a
well
-balanced
photo
with
the
correct
exposure
for
both
background
and
foreground subjects.
All
this
takes
place
automatically
and
much
quicker
than
it
can
be
explained
.
