7.1 TTL-flash mode

These flash modes offer a very simple
method of obtaining very good flash shots.
Here, the exposure is measured by a sensor
in the camera. It measures the light reflected
by the subject through the lens (TTL =
"Through The Lens").
If the shot was exposed correctly, the correct
exposure indication will illuminate for about
3 seconds (see 4.2).
Please note whether there are limitations for
your camera in terms of film sensitivity for TTL
flash mode (for example, ISO 64 to ISO 1000;
see camera's operating instructions)!
When taking a shot, an almost imperceptible
measurement pre-flash is triggered by the
camera prior to the actual exposure process.
