3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash

The camera is using the lens internal D chip which provides it with additional subject to distance information. The Multi Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash (without the 3D) on the other hand does not need the distance input to work.

In this mode, the camera fires off a series of small, so called "monitor pre flashes" and measures the light coming back in using multiple TTL sensors. Combined with the distance-to-subject information it adjusts the light for the main flash.

Using your camera-lens-flash in this combination should give you natural fill-flash light. It is fill flash so you should not use it when you need more light than just for filling.

This mode has now been superseded by the the i-TTL mode's of later camera/flash combinations.
