Dave,

Unless the camera can set flash exposure compensation like the 1p then
you will have to do it the old fashioned way.  Basically set to manual
mode, meter and set your camera settings.  Then use standard exposure
compensation so that the flash will fire less than needed for full
exposure.

Something like metering at 1/125 @ F8 - Set the camera manually.  Then
set exposure compensation on the camera for -1 stop.  Fire away.  The
metering on the camera will have the flash fire less due to the
compensation, and the manual settings on the camera will properly
expose not matter what the compensation is set to.  This gives you
flash fill.

Bruce
