- Since things are getting a bit messy, I'm going to reformat some of this...
-
- ACS>With those "Monitor Preflashes" it should be possible to calculate all
- ACS>of the exposure information at that time and set the flash's power output
-
- ND>To repeat, do you want to quench the flash when only part of the film has
- ND>been exposed?
-
- The SB-25 keeps the flash tube illuminated for the full duration of
- shutter curtain travel. The idea is to set the power output in
- advance.
-
- The point was that Nikon should be able to, with Monitor Preflash,
- calculate the required brightness setting of the flash tube and/or
- control the aperture and shutter speed (a priori) to get fill flash
- with FP sync.
-
- ACS>(Canon had "Flash Exposure Lock" with the T-90 that did something like this
- ACS>for spotmetering.
-
- ND>For shutter speeds faster than the fully-open speed?
-
- ACS>The 300TL did not support FP sync.
-
- ND>Bingo.
-
- I was referring to exposure computations with preflash assist. That is
- something that is separate from, but can be added to, FP sync exposure
- computations.
