TTL Mode A B C D

Mount the PZ40X on the camera and push the

mode-selector button until the LCD panel displays TTL. (The LCD panel shows the previous mode when

you first turn the power switch on.) The PZ40X now calculates exposure based on the camera's selected aperture and film speed and displays the effective TTL distance range. The display of the effective distance range does not appear until you partly

depress the camera's shutter release or the Ready Light comes on. A bar graph shows the flash range display from 1.5 ft to 100 ft (0.5m to 32m). An asterisk will appear if this distance is exceeded.
