Just got a Minolta meter -- the IV, with flash and ambient reading
capability. Checked the TTL of my PZ1-P vs. the meter, and here's what I
found:
1. The PZ-1P is consistently about 2/3 stop hotter with TTL than it needs to
be... but it is consistent.
2. At closer ranges with a diffuser on the flash, it comes quite close, at
about 1/2 stop hot.
Compared my Minolta to a friends and got the same readings. He shoots Canon,
and says his Canons typically are a bit hotter as well. Any thoughts from
anyone on this?
Also, when I use the PZ-1P's flash compensation, cutting the output by 1 EV
doesn't seem to lower the output very much at all; even going -3 doesn't move
the output down much more than a stop. Why is this?
