6. Modi Operattivi
The VILTROX Spark Z3-N offers various operating modes to suit different photographic needs.
6.1 TTL Auto Mode (A)
In TTL (Through-The-Lens) mode, the flash automatically adjusts its output based on the camera's metering system, providing optimal exposure for your subject.
- Set the mode dial on the flash to 'A' (Auto).
- Ensure your camera's flash settings are configured for TTL operation.
- The flash will fire with appropriate power for balanced exposure.
6.2 Modalità Manwali (M)
Manual mode allows precise control over the flash output, ideal for consistent lighting in controlled environments.
- Set the mode dial on the flash to 'M' (Manual).

S1 mode is an optical slave mode where the flash fires in response to another flash, without pre-flash suppression.
