[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 635864, member: 43545"] The work differently, with different programming,since no one has ever been happy with auto exposure and auto iso with flash they keep changing the function. Every camera Nikon made had a different philosophy and programming and we all still ignore is and use manual and have none of the problems you keep searching for. I take thousands of flash shots over any single month, about 1/2 are in daylight as fill flash and it works great and never use it the way you want to use it. I have never even tried or bothered with it since it is an illogical assumption that auto modes will guess what the reflected light level is accurately. The flash does because it generates a preflash and measures the reflected light and sets the flash power appropriately. As others have suggested, if you are not happy with your shots with your methods, and think the camera is broken, by all means sent it in for repair. . Or give it to your neighbor who has used flash before with Nikon to see if he has the same problem. My bet is that he does not because he will not use Auto ISO with TTL. Neither will anyone else on this forum so none of us can help you.....but you will see lots of well exposed images using flash, the best system in fact on any camera make. One of the reasons to buy Nikon is how well it iTTL and CLS works....yet none of those shots were taken in auto modes. [/QUOTE]
