Notes about i-TTL ash
•
T
he monitor preashes are red to measure the reecting light from a subject in order to
adjust the ash output of the Speedlight.
-
Standard i-TTL ash: The ash output is adjusted to achieve proper exposure according
to the brightness of the main subject without consideration of the background light.
This setting is optimal for taking images with emphasis on the main subjects.
•
When shooting using i-TTL ash, set the ash control mode of the Speedlight to i-TTL
before taking pictures.
