7. Flash in the individual camera modes

7.1 Use of ﬂash in the program modes

TTL-controlled ﬂash shots can be made in all expo- sure and auto program modes. Once the mecablitz is attached to the camera and switched on, it auto- matically operates with TTL ﬂash control in auto program (P), aperture priority (Av), shutter priority (Tv) and in the manual modes.

7.2 Special functions not supported by ﬂash

•Depth of ﬁeld (DEP):

The depth of ﬁeld auto mode is not operative when the ﬂashgun is switched on. Exposure is then completed as in the auto program mode.

•Soft focusing (SF):

The ﬂash is only ﬁred for the ﬁrst exposure in the soft focusing mode. This means that a soft focu- sing effect may not be achieved!

•Program shift:

Program shift (shutter speed/aperture combina- tion) in auto program mode cannot be performed when the ﬂashgun is switched on.

Please refer to the camera’s operating instructions for further details.
