Nikon SB-24 instruction manual Matrix Balanced FILL-FLASH

The 88-24 is capable of several different automatic fill-flash methods. The method you choose depends on the Nikon 8LR model you use, lighting conditions, subject movement and the esthetic qualities you wish to achieve. Carefully consider each picture situation.

MATRIX BALANCED FILL-FLASH

This is a feature of Nikon 8LR models having mUlti-segment light meters (Matrix meter). The camera's Matrix meter reads the scene's light levels and light patterns, and signals the computer, which then calculates the available-light exposure settings. When the shutter is released, the camera'sTTL sensor senses available light and flash illumination, then relays the information to the computer, which automatically controls the flash operation . The computer automatically determines the appropriate amount of flash exposure compensation to use. When the computer senses just the right amount of flash illumination for a balanced fill-flash exposure (based on the automatic compensation control), the flash is turned off. The result is a well-balanced photo with the correct exposure for both background and foreground subjects. All this takes place automatically and much quicker than it can be explained.
