FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Electronic flash is very similar to daylight. As it is
well balanced for daylight type color films that are
most popular, the electronic flash is used for various
photographic applications. Electronic flash is es-
pecially useful in unfavorable lighting situations,
ensuring easy, error-free picture taking. In dim light,
for example, without an electronic flash you will have
to use slow shutter speed with a risk of causing
camera shake and blurred pictures. Under the illumi-
nation of a flourescent lamp or incandescent lamp,
the picture often does not come out with correct
colors because it lacks proper color balance. Elec-
tronic flash solves all these problems.
The electronic flash can also be used in daylight as
fill-in light for backlighted subjects or subjects with
too strong
a contrast as well as for freezing a fast
moving subject.
Because the OM-3Ti provides full control of T-series
flashes, there is no operation required on the flash
side such as setting the film speed and aperture,
mode switchover, and exposure compensation. Since
The OTF auto light metering system can measure
the light that the film, no exposure error occurs due
to the difference in covering range of the flash's light
receptor and picture frame. You can not only take
flash pictures in the auto and manual modes, but also
use sophisticated techniques such as bounce, diffuse,
ultra close-ups, and multi-lamp flash with ease in a
fully automatic mode.
