I had each of my friends take turns holding their breath until they turned blue. Well it has been several years now and my friends have stopped coming by to play. So I personally would not recommend you hold your breath on this one either. As an aside I now have been using a TTL for so long now I cannot remember why I wanted an automatic setting in the first place.
