ADI
flash
This method controls the lighting
of
the flash, factoring in the
focus distance information and light metering data from the
pre-flash. This method enables an accurate flash
compensation with virtually no effect from the reflection
off
the subject.
Pre-flash
TTL
This method controls the amount
of
flash light depending on
the data only from pre-flash light metering. This method is
susceptible to the reflection
off
the subject.
ADI: Advanced Distance Integration
TTL: Through the lens
When [AD! flash] is selected, using a lens that is provided with a distance
encoder feature can perform more accurate flash compensation by using
more accurate distance information.
Notes
When the distance between the subject and the external flash (not supplied) cannot
be determined (wireless flash shooting using an external flash (not supplied),
shooting with an off-camera flash using a cable, shooting with a macro twin flash,
etc.), the camera automatically selects Pre-flash
TTL
mode.
Select [Pre-flash TTL]
in
the following cases, as the camera cannot perform flash
compensations with ADI flash.
- A wide panel
is
attached to the HVL-F36AM flash.
- A diffuser
is
used for flash shooting.
- A filter with an exposure factor, such as an NO filter, is used.
- A close-up lens is used.
ADI flash is only available
in
combination with a lens that
is
provided with a
distance encoder. To determine
if
the lens is equipped with a distance encoder, refer
to the operating instructions supplied with the lens.

This divides the whole screen into 40 segments to measure
light (40-segment honeycomb pattern metering).

While emphasizing the central area
of
the screen, this mode
measures the average brightness
of
the entire screen.
