MANUAL FLASH (M)

Normal TTL flash metering automati- cally adjusts the flash intensity to pro- vide the proper exposure for the sub- ject. Manual flash provides a fixed flash intensity irrespective of the brightness of the subject and the camera setting.

•Manual flash operates in the camera’s M (manual) mode only. TTL measuring is selected automatically in other modes.

•As manual flash is not affected by the reflectivity of the subject, it is conve- nient for use with subjects with extremely high or low reflectivity.
