The camera does not have a way of knowing the F stop unless the A setting is used. Using the Green Button only closes the lens to the stop you have set and then reads the light to determine exposure. Only when the F stop is set *on the camera body* will this info be recorded. AF283T?? I've not heard of that one. I've found TTL flash to work best at ISO400, as have others. Even then I wouldn't bet my work on TTL flash on the D, it's too unpredictable. Most of my TTL shots are OK but I've seen many that are off by 2-3 stops! :-( "Automatic" flash mode works much better IMHO.
