Single Servo AF

Once the subject is in focus, focus is locked. Useful for recom- posing the picture.

Slow Sync

A flash technique for using the flash at a slow shutter speed. Flash shooting in dim light or at night at a fast shutter speed often results in a flash-illuminated subject against a dark back- ground. Using a slower shutter speed with the flash brings out the background details in the picture. Use of a slow shutter speed with Rear-Curtain Sync is particularly effective for illustrat- ing the movement of a stream of light.

The F5’s Slow Sync mode extends the automatically controlled shutter speed range (in Programmed Auto and Aperture-Priority Auto) down to 30 sec.

SLR

Single Lens Reflex. A type of camera that allows you to see through the camera’s lens as you look in the camera’s viewfinder. Other camera functions, such as light metering and flash control, also operate through the camera’s lens.

Standard TTL flash

A type of TTL auto flash that does not apply any automatic flash output level compensation. Flash output is controlled indepen- dently from the ambient light exposure measurement and, in most cases, illuminates a subject somewhat more strongly than with Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash, making the subject stand out distinctly from the background.

TTL

Through-the-Lens. Most SLR cameras have built-in meters which measure light after it has passed through the lens, a feature that enables exposure readings to be taken from the actual image about to be recorded on film, whatever the lens angle of view and regardless of whether a filter is used or not.

TTL auto flash

The camera’s light sensor measures flash illumination, as reflected by the subject on the film and shuts off the flash when measurement indicates a correct exposure. Because the sensor that controls the flash receives light through the lens, TTL auto flash can be used for bounce flash photography, fill-flash, multi- ple flash photography, etc. An additional advantage of TTL auto flash is that it enables you to use a wide range of aperture settings, while ensuring correct exposure.

Vignetting

Progressively diminished illumination on the film from the center to the corners. There are two kinds of vignetting—natural vignetting caused by the lens, and vignetting that is caused by improper use of accessories such as a lens hood or filter.
