Hallo, it is I once again. Haven't done many outdoor fill flash shots (not
through with roll). Question is, when flash is turned on, the meter
doesn't work, which I don't mind; this means I have to set aperture using
the scale on the back of the flash. However, this brings up the problem
that too small an aperture, which the scale indicates, will suffice for
the subject (flash to subject distance) but the background will
be--theoretically--completely underexposed. To get around this, can I
meter (w/o flash on) off the subject and then turn on flash? I'm afraid
I'll overexpose and blow the subject out with light. Any suggestions? I'll
be trying out the above methods tomorrow late afternoon.
