The big difference with TTL is that I don't have to take any test shots and constantly check exposure and make adjustments when things change. This is particularly an issue when I have a good opportunity present itself, and I make a couple quick exposures and then it's gone. At that point I check my images, and sometimes there is a problem because of something like a large leaf blocking the flash, or a big change in the color of the background/surrounding foliage resulting in a badly under/over exposed image. I shot a bunch more this afternoon, and while I might have made some minor adjustments had I been in manual mode, all were quite acceptable exposure. If you want, I could take a series of exposures, a group in manual, and a group with TTL. I could then post them without any post processing to be able to judge the difference. The biggest issue is that there may be conditions where there is little difference, and other where there is a large difference. I doubt that TTL will always give me an acceptable exposure, but it may be that it will consistently give decent to good exposure and increase the percentage of usable images due to it's ability to adjust for me in quick shot situations. Time will tell. I may have to try a few with my Z5 and see if it gives similar results. As I said, when I first got the flash, I tried it in TTL mode with the Z5, and was NOT impressed.[ATTACH=full]408049[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]408052[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]408051[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
