[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 357886, member: 12496"] I will try this one... In bright sun, you should be around 1/250 and f/11. Sunny 16 says 1/200 f/11, but 1) final value can depend on what the meter sees, and 2) D7000 automation will try to keep shutter fast as sync is possible, and open the aperture a bit, maybe to f/10 at 1/250. But as the ambient actually meters... we are talking 1/3 stop. Without flash, you have do options to use Equivalent Exposures, like 1/2000 f/4, but flash sync limits you to 1/250 second maximum (1/200 on many models. 1/250 on yours). Just how flash is. You said blown out... what was blown out? The more distant background (which is ambient only), or the near subject lighted by both ambient and flash? Which flash? The D7000 internal flash? What metering mode? Spot metering mode? Without knowing specifics, not much more can be said. The default metering mode of the internal flash, SB-700 flash, SB-400 flash, most third party flashes... is TTL BL mode, balanced flash mode, especially designed for fill flash in bright sun. The flash metering will back off then (in bright sun[U])[/U], to be fill flash instead, and will not overexpose the subject. You should like it (perhaps a bit less so indoors). TTL mode (which can be set on a few flash menus, SB-600, SB-800, SB-900) does not back off. You get full metered ambient exposure, and full metered flash exposure, which is two proper exposures, and therefore one stop overexposure. Guaranteed. For fill flash, we just know to use around -2 EV Flash Compensation to come out right. Or to use TTL BL mode, which does the same. If you select Spot metering, you reset any flash model metering to be mode TTL instead of TTL BL (and thus surely get overexposure of near subject in bright ambient). Spot metering assumes we know what we are doing, and how to do it. Spot metering is far from point&shoot. [/QUOTE]
