In the heat of the moment, you may want to trust the TTL-flash indicator on the viewfinder and the flash. > Secondly, plan to shoot half the set with a flash, half without.

I don't think there is a TTL-meter guess. Well it is a guess, but it reads light off the film while the shot is taken, so if it thinks it did not get enough light (because the flash ran out, for example), it will let you know through the indicators. With a powerful flash like the AF400FTZ or the AF500FTZ (or even better the AF400T), the chance of this happening are less. Kostas
