Highlight-based exposure, on the contrary, gives the
highest priority to the highlight area. This exposure allows
the shadow area to come out somewhat darker.
Advanced photographers oriented for creative
photography base their exposure selection on these
considerations. Measuring the values on several
important spots of the image with a hand-held spot meter,
they have to take all the troublesome and time-
consuming steps necessary to calculate the exposure
mentally. If everything goes well, the image will be
properly exposed.
The OM-3Ti does all this automatically. Equipped with a
spot metering system and built-in computer, it calculates
the correct exposure value and frees the photographer
from having to make numerous complicated exposure
calculations. Now, with the OM-3Ti camera, it's easy for
everyone to obtain high-precision, "creative" exposure
control.
When combined with a T-Series flash, the OTF direct
light metering function offers total control of flash
strength, eliminating any bothersome calculation of
exposure. When combined with the F280, Super FP flash
control is possible with a high speed shutter. This allows
for daylight synchro, offering the benefits of flash use in
well-lit conditions and daylight synchro shooting of fast-
moving subjects. Moreover, because daylight synchro
with a wide open aperture can result in out-of-focus
background, the subject can stand out to render a more
dramatic or portrait-like effect.
All these flash capabilities are very attractive to
photographers engaged in creative activities with 35mm
SLRs. Additionally, those flashes with the Super FP
mode have a long emission duration which conventional
flash units don't have. If this is put to good use, it is
possible to create a totally new photographic effect. It all
depends on your creativity.
