[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 600850, member: 24285"] I tend to use either A or S, and when in 'learnin'' mode try out "M" - never really look into "P" but sounds like that adventure would be worth the effort. When I read your reply it makes sense, and I see that some of the kits offered by P-Wiz include a main controller that is TTL but the supporting units are not. Implying that the off camera flashes are manual while the on camera one is TTL. [SIZE=1][URL]https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1297887-REG/pocketwizard_pw_p4p3_bb4_fcc_plus_iv_plus.html[/URL] for example [/SIZE] However the most telling thing is your remark "... then I will use Manual Flash Mode" - which implies you know how to use manual. I think it is worthwhile learning, even if I don't use it. I learned to drive a standard, and am glad I did, have had the joy of driving a small two seater convertible stickshift. Totally different experience - and if I lived somewhere where you could expect more than 10 top down days a year I'd be looking for one. But my point is that even though my truck and cars are automatics, knowing standard is a good thing. Even if in the end of the day 90% of the time TTL works, it is good to know how to not TTL. For both those challenging shots you describe, and for those artsy creative crafted shots where you don't want what the camera thinks is the perfect exposure. [/QUOTE]
