3D multi-sensor fill-in flash mode
This analogue TTL flash mode is supported by cameras from Group C (see Table
1). Prior to shooting, the flash unit fires a series of barely visible measuring pre-
flashes. The TTL multi-sensor and the micro-controller of the camera evaluate the
reflected preflash light so that the subsequent TTL flash exposure is optimally
adapted to the prevailing photographic situation („multi-sensor fill-in flash").
If lenses are used that transmit distance data to the camera (for example,
„D-AF Nikkor lens"), this data is taken into consideration in addition in adju-
sting the flash exposure („3D multi-sensor fill-in flash").

☞ Some cameras do not support the 3D multi-sensor fill-in flash in combi-
nation with SPOT exposure metering! This flash mode (symbol „BL") will
then either be automatically cancelled or cannot be activated in the first
place! In these cases, the normal TTL flash mode will be set.

After about 5 seconds the display stops
flashing and the setting is saved automati-
cally.
Matrix-controlled fill-in flash mode
This analogue TTL flash mode is supported by cameras from Group B (see Table
1). The subject and background lighting is automatically adjusted to each other
without the subject itself being overexposed. The lighting setting for the ambient
light is determined by the camera with matrix measurement.
When used with cameras from Group A (see Table 1), the setting and display of
this fill-in flash mode occurs in the camera itself or this flash mode is automati-
cally activated by the camera itself (see camera's operating instructions). In this
case there is no setting and display in the flash unit.
