Detailed operation

TTL auto flash mode

■

TTL auto flash: D

In this mode, the flash illumination that is reflected back from the subject is

detected by the camera’s TTL auto flash sensor and the camera automatically

controls the flash output level to give the correct exposure.

Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash: Do

Press the a button to display Do on the LCD panel, and Automatic

Balanced Fill-Flash is performed. The flash output level is automatically

adjusted for a well-balanced exposure of the main subject and background.

(While performing Balanced Fill-Flash, no o appears with cameras in Groups

III and IV.)

• Do indicates “i-TTL Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash” in the i-TTL mode.

Standard TTL flash: D

Press the a button to display D on the LCD panel, and Standard TTL

flash is performed. The main subject is correctly exposed regardless of the

background brightness. This is useful when you want to highlight the main

subject.

• D indicates “Standard i-TTL flash” in the i-TTL mode, “Standard TTL flash for Digital

SLRs” in the D-TTL mode, and “Standard TTL flash” in the TTL (film-based) mode.

t Notes on TTL mode indicators

Comparison tables are provided on pages 108-110 to show the SB-800’s TTL

mode indicators and the corresponding ones used in the instruction manuals of

Speedlights featuring no CLS.

• For details on shooting procedures in the TTL auto flash mode, refer to “Basic operation”

(p. 17).

t Flash shooting in the 1/300 TTL High-Speed Flash sync mode

(F5 only)

The farthest flash shooting distance cannot be read on the SB-800’s LCD

panel. In this case, use the guide number table and equation (p. 106) for

calculating this distance, according to each zoom-head position.
