Advanced auto flash functions
The AF540FGZ features a variety of flash functions, including advanced P-TTL auto flash in which a pre-emission from its spotbeam projector is detected by the camera's light sensor to accurately control the main discharge level needed for proper illumination of the subject. Other functions include TTL auto flash, auto flash, manual flash, high-speed synchronization and wireless P-TTL.
