) shutter speed of
1/250s or slower: Without pre-flash: Normal, TTL controlled
fill-in flash exposure; with pre-flash: guide number controlled
fill-in flash exposure according to the calculated subject
distance and based on the TTL pre-flash metered result.
Strobe flash mode (multiple flashes fired during an exposure)
Automatic adjustment of exposure time with system-compa-
tible and appropriately equipped flash units.
Flash metering cells Silicon photo diodes in bottom of came-
ra protected from stray light.
Film speed range for TTL flash exposure metering
For SCA controlled metering: ISO 12/12° to ISO 3,200/36°
For test flash metering: ISO 25/15° to ISO 400/27°
Displays in flash mode Readiness status: Flashing of con-
stant illumination of flash symbol in viewfinder and rear panel
LCDs. Success check: Over- and underexposure indicated by
or signal in camera viewfinder for approx. 4s after exposure.
