[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 473513, member: 12496"] OK, sorry, then I misunderstood what you meant. Well, the radio triggers are manual flash, which always has to be adjusted. TTL is at least a fairly close starting point. :) My experience is that the Commander always needs a little +EV compensation. It does TTL BL mode, which is also the SB-700 default mode. I suspect that underexposure is an intentional safeguard (balancing with ambient or a second flash), but to me, speaking indoor flash, it seems that the Commander or a TTL BL hot shoe flash may normally always need maybe +2/3 EV compensation, maybe +1 EV compensation (as compared to actual TTL mode, which older flashes like SB-600 or SB-800 offer). We do what we have to do of course, but I just routinely and automatically include that +EV compensation that in my initial settings, then it always seems pretty good. [/QUOTE]
