With most camera models, the auto programme mode P and subject program-
mes activate the automatic fill-in flash mode in daylight (see the camera's ope-
rating instructions) when in TTL- or P-TTL mode.
With the fill-in flash you can remove annoying shadows and achieve a balan-
ced exposure between motive and background in shots with backlight. A com-
puter-controlled metering system takes care of the appropriate combination of
shutter speed, working aperture and flash output.
Ensure that the frontlighting source does not shine directly into the lens, as this
will interfere with the camera's TTL metering system.

5.5 Automatic flash mode

In the automatic flash mode A, the flash unit sensor
reflects back from the subject. The sensor
only measures the light for the time a flash is fired by the mecablitz. The flash is
cut off as soon as sufficient light has been emitted for correct exposure. The sen-
sor of the mecablitz has to be directed at the subject.
The maximum range is shown on the LC display. The shortest shot distance is
approximately 10% of the maximum distance range. The subject should be loca-
ted within the middle third of the distance range shown on the LC display to
allow the electronic system sufficient leeway for compensation.
