Nope, you are setting the auto output to match the aperture in use, the difference is the flash is self controlling it's own output, and my experience is that it does so more accurately than the TTL control on Pentax. This is one of my few peeves with Pentax. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
