[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 346678, member: 12496"] The total compensation for the TTL flash power level is the sum of these things: Flash Compensation on camera body Flash Compensation on flash Exposure Compensation on camera body If using Commander, also the group compensation in Commander menu (instead of on flash). If you see the +/- symbol in top LCD, one of those values is not zero. If all are zero, it disappears. You did not mention Flash Compensation, the little button below the button to open internal flash door. Its value then shows in top LCD. Again, they all add. A few of the newest bodies have a new menu about if Exposure Compensation should include the flash, or be only ambient, but I think the D7000 is old enough to not have that. So, EC affects both Flash and ambient, FC affects only flash. Pros and cons either way. >>camera body was zero [B]and TTL mode[/B], and the flash was set to TTL [LEFT][COLOR=#000000] The TTL in camera menu is ONLY about the internal flash. If internal flash door is shut, then that camera menu is not in play, and is "don't care" . The external flash has its own menu ([COLOR=#000000]with exception of SB-300/SB-400, which does not have its own menu, which does use that camera menu).[/COLOR] [/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
