Hi Thomas,

  I haven't noticed the multisegment reading to adjust with the focus
  distance. As for the flash, perhaps the P-TTL mode may consider the
  distance but it's not likely for the older plain TTL flash mode. For
  instance, the displayed range by the flash unit does not change with
  the distance.

  As far as I know, the distance info is only used by cameras bundled
  with smart modes in order to correctly select the landscape,
  portrait or macro mode.
