EXPOSURE COMPENSATION IN NON-TTL AUTO

FLASH·MODE

The Non-TTL Auto Flash mode works best for subjects of average (18% gray) reflectance. For very dark subjects, we recommend closing the aperture about 1/2 to 1 stop smaller than indicated on the S8-24 LCD. For very bright (almost white) subjects, it is just the opposite. Open the aperture about 1/2 to 1 stop. Similarly, the automatic system operates best under average indoor conditions in the home-an average-size room having white ceilings approx. 2.5 to 3 meter (8 to 10 feet) high. In a very large room, or in one with very high ceilings, such as an auditorium, if you are more than about 4.5 to 6 meters (15 to 20 feet) from the subject, you should experiment by opening the aperture 1 to 2 stops wider than the LCD indicates. Since there is no way to anticipate any specific condition, you may want to take a few pictures using exposure bracketing.
