TTL auto flash modes available with the SB-800
The available types of TTL auto flash vary, depending on the camera/lens/
exposure mode/metering system in use. The following tables show the
SB-800’s TTL mode indicators and the corresponding ones used in the
instruction manuals of Speedlights featuring no CLS when the flash unit is
used with various cameras not compatible with CLS.
• Refer to your camera’s instruction manual for specific information on camera settings
and functions.
