TTL FLASH CORD

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a Vello Off- Camera TTL Flash Cord. This
TTL ash cord allows you to set up a portable ash for off-camera
lighting while retaining all of the TTL ash functionality achieved in
modern digital cameras.
Off-camera lighting reduces the harsh shadows of direc t on-camera
ash and gives your photos more natural lighting. TTL (through the
lens) functions of modern cameras handle exposure calculations so
you can concentrate on composing the image. Because the light
from the ash is measured through the lens by the camera, there is
no need for exposure calculations or a separate light meter.
