[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 174543, member: 12496"] Can you post one of the bad pictures? Metering depends on the scene the camera sees. Generally white/light/bright things are underexposed, and generally dark/black/dull things are overexposed. Maybe by a full stop sometimes. But it sort of depends on what the camera is pointed at. Are all of your flash compensation menus in a state known to you? If you see the +/- icon visible in the top LCD, better go check them all. I don't know much about a Yongnuo flash unit, but it is just a flash, and the camera TTL system meters TTL preflash, and sets power level in the flash. Just saying, it is the camera that controls TTL. The flash should respond correctly of course, consistently. And it is only beginners that imagine that the camera ought to always get it right. Exposure metering depends on the scene being metered. No matter how good your gear is, this is still true. TTL is often pretty close, but it also often needs a little flash compensation help. Which is one of the first things to be learned. See [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/metering.html"]How light meters work[/URL] There, at least see the roses about mid page. That is how things work. Then things go better when we realize it, and learn how to do our part to help. [/QUOTE]
