Yes, you are wrong. You can also use manual if you want the flash as the main light. > In fact, there is no way to tell the EOS-3 to consider the > flash as a main > light source in Av mode, right ? Yes, Av mode is for fill in flash. That is why P mode can be useful, as it will switch from fill in, to main light depending upon the ambiant lighting. You can always shift the shutter/apreture in P mode, so it is very versatile. > > Regards, > Alex Z > Steve * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
