[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 449674, member: 12496"] [LEFT][COLOR=#000000][LEFT] Front Curtain is not a default exactly. It is standard, but is a setting there, for any flash, not related to just the popup. True all other settings there except Rear Curtain are Front, but others also do other things. If you want just regular Front Curtain, here is where you specify it. If you specify it, then it is like default, what will be used. [LEFT][COLOR=#000000] Matrix metering is for the ambient contribution, and it does see stuff at the frame edges. Regarding ambient. Your arch situation might be better with Center Weighted metering (for ambient). But TTL flash meters in the center, regardless. Seems contradictory, but maybe it did not think your daylight arch needed much flash? Certainly the flash goal was not the center part. It is a difficult situation, more attention than point&shoot will be necessary. The FV Lock thing should work well, explained before. Or manual flash should work. But straight point & shoot flash probably won't satisfy in that difficult situation. It is a case when the photographer gets involved. :) [LEFT][COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][/LEFT] [/COLOR] [/LEFT] [/LEFT] [/COLOR][/LEFT] [COLOR=#000000]I[/COLOR]t is a tough unusual situation for the automation. But FV Lock can meter the dark wall for the flash, and then the arch for the ambient. I think that is your goal. It may be a bit strong then (FV Lock is not a fill situation), but then a bit of flash compensation might be helpful. You have +1 or -3 EV available. Flash compensation only affects automatic TTL flash mode, but its control is a little like manual flash... we can adjust it like we want it. The advantage over manual flash is TTL selects a much closer starting point, and it is metered, so when compensated, it can still automatically adjust for many routine changes, into similar but different situations.
