It happens to me once in a while because I have to change the metering mode from spot to metering back and forth because when I shoot wedding at night, I shoot straight TTL (dance floor, ceremony, basically all night long) there is no ambient and hence TTL-BL is not needed.  nso the flash will not work in regular TTL mode unless I move the metering to spot. and then I forget the spot metering is on when I shoot when ambient light is plenty and the metering goes crazy on every little bit and exposure changes often. I usually am shooting in A when this happens. so, bottom line, if youre shooting A S or P, put it to center or matrix. you can shoot in spot, if you know how to measure for exposure properly, but scenes that change often are very problematic because the spot area will be on something dark and move the frame a bit and it will be on something light and your exposure will vary widely.in an example, I was shooting on a bus driving to a location and we had enough ambient light coming inside. was shooting in A in spot. I shoot CL 2 frames in a row. click click . one came out sharp then the other went into dragging the shutter to 1/15. it drove me crazy why it was behaving badly. I then remembered why. so try it and let us know. cheers.</blockquote>
