[QUOTE="FLATSIX, post: 635261, member: 43971"] Dear STAN, Thanks for the explanation - I can follow it till it comes to playing with ISO-settings + flash... When I set camera to "M" without using flash - I can dial in "shutterspeed" and "aperture" manually. At the same time I see the ISO-setting at which camera will take exposure. So if in my opinion too high, then I lower my speed or I take a bigger aperture and the iso drops. Then I take the picture but I know at which ISO it will be taken. Now it comes: when I put my flash to "ON" - then I have exactly the same thing : I am in "M" and can set my shutterspeed and my aperture : only the ISO showing is always "400" (= 4x min.setting of 100). Whatever I change, the ISO remains 400. Then I take my shot but: SURPRISE : it is taken at ISO 8000 !! (this is the worst case as my upperlimit = 8000) So - the camera shows 400 and let me think that is will take picture with flash around this value , no, in reality it goes extremely high in ISO when using flash. During my shoot 2 weeks ago it seemed to me that the ISO showed was the same iso as without flash, that way I had control over what camera would do about iso when taking the shot. My D500 has some strange behaviour : yesterday after shooting I check the battery-level : it indicates only 1% of charge.
