Brad is incorrect. The compensation dial does affect ttl flash output just as you described. I calculate that I've done it about 1500 times this year with AF500FTZ's.
Now, does it work with this particular flash you're talking about? Hell if I know, but it *should* work with any TTL flash. What sort of modification did you make? Did you have data imprinting on? tv > -----Original Message----- > From: Leon Altoff [mailto:leon@;bluering.org.au] > Sent: Saturday, November 09, 2002 8:31 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: MZ-S can you ... > > > Brad, > > White hankerchiefs have no effect when using TTL.
