Non-TTL auto flash mode
Non-TTL auto A flash
The SB-800’s built-in sensor measures the flash illumination reflected from the
subject, automatically controlling the SB-800’s light output to give the correct
exposure. This allows you to make exposure compensation (p. 54) easily by
varying the aperture set on the camera or lens.
• No limitation on usable cameras.
• Auto Aperture flash (p. 38) is automatically set (default setting) when the SB-800 is used
with cameras compatible with CLS, digital SLRs not compatible with CLS, cameras in
Groups I and II in combination with a CPU lens, and COOLPIX cameras compatible
with i-TTL. To cancel Auto Aperture flash and set to Non-TTL auto flash, use Custom
settings (p. 67).
