Re: [PRODIG] flash

[Andrew Lopez-Calvete]

Not sure that it meters from the active focus point. When you hi the 
FEl on the MkII the centre point flashes and the resulting exposure 
does suggest that its reading from the centre focus point. It could be 
that it is on spot and that's the only point that works in that 
configuration?

Canon E-TTL flash does give unpredictable results. The problem is that 
it meters the flash from the active focus point, which may be over a 
dark or a light object when the pre-flash is emitted and therefore 
give the wrong flash exposure. The 1D2 minimises the problems by using 
the distance information.
