[QUOTE="Revet, post: 414193, member: 17612"] I am still learning my new D7100 and I saved flash photography for last so here it starts. I have set up my U1 setting for indoor flash photography. The settings I use are 1/250 sec shutter speed, f/4 and ISO 400. I set this up in the M mode. I use AF-S and spot metering so that I am on TTL and not TTL-BL on the SB-700. This gets me pretty good consistent exposures indoors. Now, as I increase flash exposure compensation (using the flash button above the bracketing button on the left side of the body looking from the rear), I increase the exposure of both the subject and background. When I decrease flash compensation, I decrease exposure of the subject and background. Now I tried the exposure compensation button next to the shutter release (increasing and decreasing) which did nothing to the exposure. I believe this is because I am in manual mode in which case the exposure compensation button does nothing but move the meter indicator (Auto ISO is off) Does that sound correct?? Also, in the D7100 manual (p. 124), it says that adjusting flash compensation will affect the subject more relative to the background. That was not the case in this experiment in which both were affected uniformly. Any input on this??? Thanks for any input. [/QUOTE]
