• Depending on the lens used and scene recorded, the in-focus indicator
(e) may be displayed when the subject is not in focus, or the camera
may be unable to focus and the shutter release will be disabled.
• When an SC -series 17, 28, or 29 sync cable is used for off-camera flash
photography, correct exposure may not be achieved in i- TTL mode. We
recommend that you select standard i- TTL fill-flash. Take a test shot and
view the results in the monitor.
• In i-TTL, do not use any form of flash panel (diffusion panel) other than
the flash unit's built-in flash panel or bounce adapters provided with the
flash unit. Using other panels may produce incorrect exposure.
~ Flash Compensation for Optional Flash Units
In i-TTL and auto aperture (@A) flash control modes, the flash
compensation selected with the optional flash unit or the [Flash control]
item in the photo shooting menu is added to the flash compensation
selected with the~ (BB) button.
