6.2 Automatic P TTL Fill-in flash mode

The automatic P TTL fill-in flash mode is acti-
vated by most cameras when the automatic
programme P is selected and by Vari or sub-
ject programmes during daylight (see camera
operating manual).

Fill-in flash mode overcomes troublesome
shadows and produces a more balanced
exposure between subject and background
with contre-jour shots.

The camera’s computer-controlled metering
system sets the most suitable combination of
shutter speed, aperture and flash output.
