Speedlight SB24, Electronic analog exposure display, and Mode

Hi all,

I have a few questions regarding my SB24... first, what is electronic analog exposure display? It gives me the impression the shutterspeed adjusts... which I assumed was fixed when using flash (this is on an f100).

And the icon on the display next to TTL (person in the sun) can either blink or be permanent, but what is the difference? Also, when the flash is not attached it only says ttl. What does this mean?

Cheers
Peter

Here's a link to a pdf of the manual for the SB-24...

and here's a link to the manual for the F100 (flash photography starts at page 77)

I think page 25 of the SB-24 manual answers your first question....and the little table in diagram at the bottom left on that page also appears to explain what it means when the icon is and is not blinking...
