Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash
As
mentioned
on page 37,
Matrix Metering is
automatically
selected in auto exposure
mode. In TIL
auto flash
photogra-
phy,
the Matrix Meter reads the
scene's
light levels/light pattern
and signals
the
computer, which then calculates available-light
exposure settings.
When the
shutter
is released, the
camera's
TIL
sensor senses
the
available
light
and
flash
illumination,
then relays this
information
to the
computer,
which
automati-
cally controls
flash
operation.
The
computer automatically
de-
termines the
appropriate amount of
flash
output compensation
required.
As soon as
the right
amount of
flash illumination is
output (with automatic compensation),
the
computer
turns
off
the flash. The
result is a
well-balanced photo
with correct expo-
sure
for
both
the background
and
foreground
subject. All
this
takes
place automatically and much quicker
than
it can
be
explained.
Center-Weighted Fill-Flash
If
you want
to
choose
the brightness level for
a
basic
available-
light
exposure, set
the
camera's exposure
mode to manual
exposure
mode to perform
Center-Weighted
Fill-Flash. By
pointing the
center-weighted area at
different
parts of
the
pic-
ture,
you can
choose the desired brightness level. If the bright-
ness
value you
have
selected
is
within
the
controlled shutter/
aperture
range',
flash
output compensation will
be made
auto-
matically for
a
natural
fill-flash effect.
If
you select a brightness
value
beyond the
controlled shutter/aperture
range, flash
will
be output without compensation.
