shutter curtain opens and the measuring beam is emitted for the multi-sensor
(if permitted by the flash unit and camera), and only then fires the main
flash.
These three preflashes induce the pupils to close further, thereby dimi-
nishing the red-eye effect. This function is available in any exposure pro-
gramme. For further details please refer to the operating instructions for the
given camera.
• TTL-HSS mode
This mode permits the use of flash at shutter speeds faster than the came-
ra’s flash synch speed. This is useful for portraiture in very bright ambient
light and a wide aperture to limit the depth-of-field.
• ETTL flash mode (only with Canon SCA 3102)
In this mode the reflecting properties of the subject are established by a
preflash before shooting.
• ETTL-HSS mode
This mode permits the use of flash at shutter speeds faster than the came-
ra’s flash synch speed.
• 3D-TTL flash control (only with Nikon SCA 3402)
In this mode hardly visible measuring beams are emitted as the shutter re-
lease is depressed, before the shutter curtain opens. They supply the came-
ra with the necessary information regarding brightness and contrast.
