Non-TTL Auto Flash

In Non-TTL Auto Flash shooting, light output automatically changes to match the flash-to-subject distance, but the light is measured by the light sensor on the optional Speedlight instead of being measured through the lens. Compared to TTL Auto Flash of the built-in Speedlight, where the light is measured through the lens, the control of the flash output level is somewhat less accurate.
