Nikon Autofocus Speedlight SB-24 - Manual (Page 40)

TTL AUTO HD FLASH WITH NIKON F4 OR F-801/N8008-
The SB-24 takes full advantage of the F4 and F-801/N8008's
built-in computer, which automatically synchronizes the
camera's shutter speed and lens aperture to provide precisely
controlled exposures. The capability to handle wider brightness
ranges and use fill-flash under more complex conditions varies
from automatic operation to more advanced user-controlled
options.
With the Nikon F4 or F-801/N8008, by setting the SB-24 to TTL
auto flash mode, you will achieve advanced yet simplified fill-
flash photography.
You can choose any of the following flash categories—Matrix
Balanced Fill-Flash, Center-Weighted Fill-Flash or standard TTL
flash, according to the SB-24's TTL mode (with or without auto­
matic flash output level compensation) and camera's metering
system (Matrix or Center-Weighted).
