-
- TTL flash works by measuring the light reflected off the film emulsion
- while the shutter is open. The TTL sensor is located in the bottom of
- the mirror box in most cameras. No distance information is required,
- just as no distance information was required for (ambient) TTL metering
- in pre-AF cameras.
-
- (Have *you* seen any flashmeters, reflective or incident, that require
- the distance information to be punched in?)
