Through-the-Lens (TTL) Flash Photography

TTL fl ash control automatically adjusts fl ash output for optimal
brightness. The fl ash also responds to changes in camera settings,
allowing the fl ash to be used at shutter speeds slower than the fl ash
sync speed.
To adjust fl ash settings, press MODE until the
icon for the desired item blinks and then press
SEL to choose an option while the red display
backlight is on. Setting is complete when the
backlight turns off and the icon stops blinking.
