This flash mode is the easiest way to achieve excellent flash

camera. It measures the light reflected by the subject through the
lens (TTL).
Depending on the camera model, the flash unit will produce a
pre-flash for metering purposes just before the actual exposure.
Alle exposure modes of the camera are available.

additional flash exposure compensation of -2 to +2 EV in 1/3 EV
increments can be set. This will allow an adjustment of the flash
exposure.
Automatic flash exposure control systems are set to a light
reflection factor of 25% (average reflection level of flash-lit
subjects). Those part of the subject illuminated mainly by the flash
may therefore be under or overexposed:
– the main subject is very dark or very reflective
– the main subject (of average brightness) is very small and/or in
front of a bright or highly reflective background (e.g. backlight-
ing), or in front of a very dark background (e.g. night time
outdoors)
The LCD panel will show a light balance scale with EV digits
underneath to indicate that flash exposure compensation is
available.
