That is because it still *is* a flashmatic system - shooting distance
is the main input parameter, not subject brightness or reflection. It's
only that the IS flashmatic system gives you two controllers instead of
one: aperture *and* GN (the latter controlled by the camera), giving
you more freedom in aperture selection, as long as ambient light
doesn't yield shutter speeds shorter than 1/100. Unless of course we're
talking about the IS-3*000* in manual or portrait program mode, where
Super FP becomes active from 1/100 - 1/2000 sec.
