Di466 (For Four Thirds 4/3) KEY FEATURES:

Nissin original "MY TTL" Setting

The TTL flash power level is pre-set for reasonable exposure at factory. You can, however, reset the power

at the desired exposure level, in +-3/4Ev. by 1/4Ev increments.

The preset value is memorized as your personal standard after switching the unit off.

The usual TTL flash level compensation works based on this customized level.

TTL Flash Level Compensation

The power of the flash can be controlled with TTL flash level compensation.

Whereas total exposure is controlled by the camera's EV compensation function, the flash can compensate

for the exposure on the main subject only, with little impact on the exposure of the background scene.

The flash power level can be adjusted from -1.5EV through +1.5EV by 0.5EV steps.

Dual Program Remote Flash (Slave mode)

Wireless remote flash system of Di466 works for either analogue (single flash) and digital (pre-flash) flash

syste with 6 steps power level available.
