Pre-flash TTL A pre-flash is fired right before shooting, and the camera sets the amount of flash light by measuring only the amount of reflected light from the pre-flash. The distance information is not used in the calculation. Manual flash The built-in flash fires with certain amount of flash light regardless of the brightness of a subject. This option is disabled when [Autoflash] is selected. ADI: Advanced Distance Integration TTL: Through the lens • When the distance between the subject and the external flash (not supplied) cannot be determined, (wireless flash shooting using an external flash (not supplied), shooting with an off-camera flash using a cable, shooting with a macro twin flash, etc.) the camera automatically selects Pre-flash TTL mode. • Select [Pre-flash TTL] in the following cases, as the camera cannot obtain accurate distance information with ADI flash. - A wide panel is attached to the HVL-F36AM flash. - A diffuser is used for flash shooting. - A filter with an exposure factor, such as an ND filter, is used. - A close-up lens is used. • ADI flash is only available in combination with the lens that is provided with a distance encoder. To determine the lens is equipped with a distance encoder, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the lens. 99
