FL-40's Modes

When the flash is mounted on a camera which is capable of data

communications, the flash can receive the data from the camera, and select

one of the following control modes.

MEMO

• The TTL AUTO and R-TTL AUTO modes can be used only with digital cameras which

are capable of data communications.

• TTL AUTO

In this mode, the flash is controlled entirely by the camera based on

information sent from it. Available light is metered and illumination set

automatically.

• R-TTL AUTO

In this mode, the flash is controlled entirely by the camera based on

information sent from it. Available light is metered and illumination set

automatically. The mode cannot function with cameras that do not support

it.

• AUTO

The flash itself determines illumination and when to fire. The operation is

automatic, so you are not troubled with flash setup. The mode cannot

function with cameras that do not support it.

• MANUAL

In this mode, you must set the guide number yourself. The actual firing of

the flash is automatically set according to the guide number.

MEMO

• Some cameras, which are capable of data communications, don't allow the flash to

select a control mode of the flash. In this case, select it with the camera.
