ADI: Advanced Distance Integration
TTL: Through the lens
When [ADI 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 ND 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.
