[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 513264, member: 13090"] Good point. Even so it doesn’t make much of a difference as far as I can tell whether I use TTL or TTL BL since TTL metering is dependent on the tonality of the subject, ambient light etc. My point here being, even with TTL BL engaged I *still* have to ride the Flash Exposure Compensation button to get the exposure *I WANT* out of the shot; regardless of the camera/flash might "think" is the correct exposure. I agree TTL BL does a nice job but my method is still: Shoot, check and adjust the FEC as necessary; even when shooting TTL BL. I think we need to accept a certain flexibility in our technique as opposed to expecting that by meticulously analyzing how our camera and speedlight work in test situations, that we could get every image perfectly exposed from the very first frame. I believe this is one of those areas where there is a danger of over-thinking things and expecting real world situations to fall within specifically anticipated behavior when the better solution would be to simply adjust FEC as needed, and on an on-going basis, [I]while[/I] you shoot. Just my proverbial two cent's. [/QUOTE]
