Taking Pictures with Digital Cameras
with Communication Capabilities
FL-40's Modes
When the flash is mounted on a camera which is capable of data
communications, the flash can receive the data from the camera, and select
one of the following control modes.
MEMO
• The TTL AUTO and R-TTL AUTO modes can be used only with digital cameras which
are capable of data communications.
• TTL AUTO
In this mode, the flash is controlled entirely by the camera based on
information sent from it. Available light is metered and illumination set
automatically.
• R-TTL AUTO
In this mode, the flash is controlled entirely by the camera based on
information sent from it. Available light is metered and illumination set
automatically. The mode cannot function with cameras that do not support
it.
• AUTO
The flash itself determines illumination and when to fire. The operation is
automatic, so you are not troubled with flash setup. The mode cannot
function with cameras that do not support it.
• MANUAL
In this mode, you must set the guide number yourself. The actual firing of
the flash is automatically set according to the guide number.
MEMO
• Some cameras, which are capable of data communications, don't allow the flash to
select a control mode of the flash. In this case, select it with the camera.
