Operating Modes
TTL Auto-Exposure
In TTL (Through-The-Lens) mode, the iT30Pro F automatically meters light through your camera's lens and calculates the optimal flash output for balanced exposure. This mode is ideal for fast-paced shooting and ensures consistent results without manual adjustments.

Built-in Diffuser
