TTL AUTO iIll flASH WITH NIKON F4 OR F·801/N8008 -----

The 58-24 takes full advantage of the F4 and F-801/NSOOS's built-in computer, which automatically synchronizes the camera'sshutter speed and lens aperture to provide precisely controlled exposures. The capability to handle wider brightness ranges and use fill-flash under more complex conditions varies from automatic operation to more advanced user-controlled options.

With the Nikon F4 or F-801/NSOOS, by setting the 58-24 to TTL auto flash mode, you will achieve advanced yet simplified fill- flash photography.

You can choose any of the following flash categories-Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash, Center-Weighted Fill-Flash or standard TTL flash, according to the 58-24's TTL mode (with or without auto- matic flash output level compensation) and camera'smetering system (Matrix or Center-Weighted).
