[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 264099, member: 14443"] Hor? you mean air? dont care so much about the pattern more than the fact that it overexposes and the flash should have the tech to know its being pointed vertically. this is not something new. it should be fixed. like with metering and white balance. basic things nikon should address. for instance, if im shooting outdoors and I enable HSS on the camera and im shooting in A. its happened at times the shutter speed fluctuated over and under 1/250, why doesnt the camera sense the flash is under and adjust itself? instead it overexposes the image. it should know, over, HSS, and if its under, trim the power down. but it doesnt. it burns the images and thats simple things. try it and youll see for yourself. all I can say is that over so many years of reasearch the flash system still hasnt advanced much. the tech is still lagging imo. the metering hasnt advanced imo either. with all their "color" matrix metering and so called boasting, for backlit situations the metering is horrible, for metering brides is lacking. luckily I know its limits and have learned to adjust but it still has a long way to go. when I was shooting F5's they boasted the camera has 60000 (dont quote me exactly but something impressive) different algorithms in it of different lighting situations and it knows when youre shooting white and black. and till today it hasnt advanced. predominant black in the image and it overexposes, and if you do a high key setup it underexposes. how can a $10 meter still get more accurate reading than the state of the art camera. and yes I know about the reflective incident and what not. im very proficient with a light meter. thats no excuse. it should read the scene and adjust and it doesnt. they have a long way to go with flash and metering. yes there is TTL BL and thats nice but it isnt accurate as it could be. I think if they could put in so much effort in predective autoducs and dynamic AF they can better the metering and flash. I think people just accept what nikon releases and are just happy with that. media plays things up but if you look at it in a technical way, it has some way to go. what im saying is nikon raises prices but doesnt add superior features.
