New creativity: Flash with the M8 The state of the art metal<br />
blade focal-plane shutter enables flash sync speed of up to 1/250 sec<br />
to be achieved. The new M-TTL flash technology with pre-flash for flash<br />
metering opens up new creative possibilities in composition and flash<br />
exposure.<br />
Innovative M-TTL flash technology The unique feature of the new flash technology<br />
is that a pre-flash for flash metering is fired immediately before the actual exposure.<br />
TTL measurement of the light reflected by the surfaces of the subject determines<br />
the exact power required from the main flash. The seamless addition of the flash<br />
intensity to the available light results in flash photographs that retain the natural<br />
lighting mood.<br />
Automatic fill-in flash for available light photography The auto slow sync function allows you to use<br />
aperture priority mode in conjunction with the flash technology. It ensures that the image background<br />
is balanced even if the intensity of the ambient light should change. An appropriate metered amount<br />
of fill-in flash is emitted to provide correct exposure. Depending on the photographer’s experience<br />
or the intended effect, various maximum exposure times can be set for aperture priority. This can be<br />
done manually or – when using 6 bit-coded lenses – automatically using the rule of thumb 1/focal<br />
length in seconds.
