• 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 or ring light, 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 attached to the surface of the flash.
– 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.
When the mode dial is set to AUTO, P, or Scene Selection, the flash mode is set to autoflash
(default setting) automatically. When the flash is pulled up, if you want to make sure the flash
fires without fail, you can set it to Fill-flash. In either case, you can change the flash mode
with the function dial and the Fn button.
