Ok, I don't own a second flash yet (I'm going to buy the Sigma EF 500 Super as soon as funds allow), but I was wondering about how flash exposure compensation works in a 2-flash situation. Here's the scenario: the EF 500 would be on the camera, and the 420EX would be on a stand or something, off to the side. I want the 420EX to be the primary light (for sidelighting), and the EF 500 would just provide some shadow fill and a catchlight in my subject's eyes. To achieve this, my first thought was to dial in -2 stops of FEC on the camera body.
However, would this then make the off-camera 420EX be at -2 FEC as well? Or would the FEC apply only to the hotshoe flash, and the 420 would make the correct exposure automatically? Would setting FEC on the EF 500 itself make any difference? The 420 doesn't have any manual controls, so I can't do anything there... Geez, I'm confused, and I haven't even started doing anything yet! ;-) --Alex * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
