Glenn: First of all, I assume you set the camera shutter speed to the same as the sync setting (125x), in manual mode? Or, do I leave shutter set to AUTO? The manual does say to leave the Super Program set to AUTO for TTL flash.
Second, when you say to "turn the exposure compensation dial to reduce the flash power. So you can get fill-flash at one or two stops less than the daylight", are you referring to the settings on the flash or on the camera? I think you are talking about the exposure compensation on the camera. Here's where I'm ignorant. Which setting do I set it to? I don't know if I should set it to 1/2x, 1/4x, 2x, or 4x? Also, I have read another way is to simply slide the flash ISO setting to twice the film. So, for ISO 100 film, set the flash to 200 and you have a 1 stop fill. So, would 400 be a 2 stop fill? What I don't know is do you need to shoot in manual mode, or can I set the camera on AUTO (or 125x)? Sorry all for my stupidity. I don't shoot with flash enough to remember. --- "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Steve Pearson asked: > > I recently acquired the AF280T flash to use on my > > Super Program.
