5.1 E-TTL flash control
E-TTL flash control is only possible with cameras
featuring this function. E-TTL flash control is auto-
matically set on the flash unit.
In the E-TTL flash control mode, a pre-flash is fired
to establish the reflective characteristics of the
subject just before the actual shot is taken. A par-
tial light output level is transmitted and adjusted
on the flash unit as a result of this measurement.
The aperture and shutter speed to be used are
established by the camera according to the
ambient light before the actual exposure, and are
automatically adjusted in the program modes.
The red „E-TTL“ indicator lights up on the mecablitz.
Flash exposure storage
This feature permits the flash exposure of an off-
center subject to be metered and stored. It is only
possible in the camera’s creative modes and is
performed by way of the camera’s memory but-
ton.
