The meter is just measuring the ambient, You can set the SS to 1/100 and have the background 2 stops underexposed, or set it at 1/50 and have the background 1 stop underexposed. The TTL metering on the flash will ensure your subject is correctly exposed (ish) and sharp too as most of the light will happen very quickly and freeze the movement (the BG may still show camera movement blur)So when i took some shots indoors with my flash Nissin Di 622 Mark II
If i tried to have a shutter speed faster than 25th of sec in the view finder would show negative ,shouldn't i be able to go alot faster with the flash ta
Did you understand my post? The meter in the camera viewfinder has no bearing on the flash, it's telling you what the ambient light level is.On camera , Flash ttl, manual and I thought it would go to 125 easy , the flash is supposed to be 40 00 the ta
They do talk to each other...I thought they talked to each other ie to know what power to use and for how long it needs to be on for
But the exposure meter in the viewfinder hasn't seen the flash, it's telling you what the ambient looks like.Or can you ignore the viewfinder exposure meter when the flash is attached
But you don't need to worry about that, the meter is showing the ambient reading. The TTL will just react to your settings used (wherever it is capable)I think I was using ttl that's why I wondered why it shows that I need to slow shutter speed to get it correct
