[QUOTE="FLATSIX, post: 636540, member: 43971"] I just did some test - I thought I had understood it : put it on "M" - dial shutter speed and diafragm till meter on "o".(Auto-iso off and put to 400. I took a picture of a flower - everything well lit without flash , then with flash : everything fine Then I said to myself : flower must be bright and well lit - background as dark as possible. O.K. : put it on metering "0" - flash ttl bl to "on" - then compensation button +/- on camera fully to the left (underexpose) - I think the flash will make the balanced lighting for the shot through ttl bl: so flower O.K. and I said to camera : underexpose much (-5) I took the picture : nada , njet , nothing = everything underexpose - flower very dark - background very dark. Did some other test like that, but no dark background and no good lightened subject = all too dark , or with overexposure : all too bright. How do you manage to take in bright light outside a picture of a flower with flash, so that flower is O.K. and background dark ??? Why does the flash follows the compensation that I did on the camera? I did not do a flash-compensation : no , only the +/- for camera. It seems difficult? [/QUOTE]
