Nikon SB-24 - Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash Mode

The 88-24 is capable of several different automatic fill-flash
methods . The method you choose depends on the Nikon 8LR
model you use , lighting conditions, subject movement and the
esthetic qualities you wish to achieve . Carefully consider each
picture situati on .
MATRIX BALANCED FILL-FLASH
This is a feature of Nikon 8LR models having mUlti - segment
light meters (Matrix meter). The camera's Matrix meter reads
the scene 's light levels and light patterns, and signals the
computer , wh i ch then calculates the available-light exposure
settings . When the shutter is released , the camera's TTL sensor
senses available light and flash illumination, then relays the
information to the computer, which automatically controls the
flash operation . The computer automatically determines the
appropriate amount of flash exposure compensation to use .
When the computer senses just the right amount of flash
illumination for a balanced fill-flash exposure (based on the
automat ic compensation control), the flash is turned off. The
result is a well -balanced photo with the correct exposure for
both background and foreground subjects. All this takes place
automatically and much quicker than it can be explained .
