[. . . ] Precision of calculation can be increased for non-CPU lenses by providing lens data (focal length and maximum aperture; 124­127). Flash output adjusted to ensure main subject is correctly exposed; brightness of background is not taken into account. Recommended Standard for shots in which main subject is emphasized at expense of backi-TTL Flash for ground details, or when exposure compensation is used. Standard Digital SLR i-TTL flash for digital SLR is activated automatically when spot metering is selected. 109 D-TTL Flash Control D-TTL flash control is available when an optional SB-series 80DX, 28DX, or 50DX Speedlight is mounted on the camera accessory shoe. The type of flash control depends on the lens attached: Lens Description Taking Photographs--Flash Photography 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash for Digital SLR: Speedlight emits a series of nearly invisible preflashes (monitor preflashes) immediately before main flash. Preflashes reflected from objects in all Type G or D areas of frame are picked up by five-segment TTL flash control sensor CPU lens and analyzed in combination with information from matrix metering system to adjust flash output for natural balance between main subject and ambient background lighting. Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash for Digital SLR: As above, except that distance information is not included in regulating flash output. Precision of calculation can be increased for non-CPU lenses by providing lens data (focal length and maximum aperture; 124­127). Standard TTL Flash for Digital SLR: Flash output is adjusted to ensure that main subject is correctly exposed, without taking the background into account. Recommended for shots in which main subject is emphasized at the expense of background details, or when exposure compensation is used. Standard TTL flash for digital SLR is activated automatically when spot metering is selected.
