AUTOMATIC BALANCED FILL-FLASH

When the S8-24 is turned off and the scene's brightness is EV10 or higher, if the computer's multi-segment sensor detects that the central subject is darker than the surrounding area by at least 1.5EV, the viewfinder ready-light LED blinks, recom- mending that you should use flash to brighten the picture. (Note: the S8-24 must be turned off for this signal to operate. The LED will not blink with the S8-24 in ST8Y or ON mode.)

Set the camera for Program exposure control and the S8-24 for TTL exposure control. A balanced fill-flash picture will result, automatically. It'sthat easy.
