This method controls the amount of flash light depending on the data only from pre-flash light metering. This method is susceptible to the reflection off the subject. ADI: Advanced Distance Integration TTL: Through the lens • When [ADI flash] is selected, using a lens that has a distance encoder feature can provide more accurate flash compensation by utilizing distance information. Notes • When the distance between the subject and the flash cannot be determined (wireless flash shooting using a flash, 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 perform flash compensations 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 a lens that is provided with a distance encoder. To determine if the lens is equipped with a distance encoder, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the lens. • This item cannot be set when the exposure mode is set to Sweep Panorama, or [Night Scene]/[Hand-held Twilight] in Scene Selection.
