TTL Photography
Photography based on the camera's photometric data of the

subject's brightness, which is used to regulate the light amount

of the strobe so that the correct exposure is achieved.  

Even if the distance from the subject has changed, the light

amount will be controlled automatically and you can easily

obtain the correct exposure. After shooting with TTL automatic

light control, the TTL lamp on the light level switch will illuminate

in green for approximately 3 seconds. When automatic light

control was not used, the TTL lamp will not illuminate.
