Exposure compensation in TTL mode

With a dark subject (with low reflectivity) or one that is light in tone (having high reflectivity), over- or under- exposure may occur. To prevent this, compensate exposure by rotating camera'sexposure compensation dial. With the FG, push the exposure compensation button. (For details, see camera instruction manual.)

The shooting distance range for TTL automatic flash operation varies with the amount of exposure compen- sation . For compensated distance range, see table at right, then reset film speed setting on the back of S8-22.

For example, with ISO 100 film and camera'sexposure compensation dial set at +2, read 25 on the table and reset the S8 -22's film speed index to 25.

With an aperture of 1/4 , the flash shooting distance range-which is 0.8m to 6.2m (2.6ft. to 20ft.) at ISO

100-shifts to 0.6m to 3.1 m (2. 0ft. to 10ft.) at ISO 25. The Nikon F-401/N4004 has no exposure compensa- tion dial, and compensates exposure with automatic balanced fill-flash.
