  1. There is a short pulse of (data) light that are optically triggering the flashes prematurely in commander mode. Just set the

    flash mode to manual at 1/8th power or less and you should be able to make the slaves go off and get a proper exposure.

    Also, the meter does work in manual mode. This will only help you for ambient lighting and not exposures with off camera

    strobes. If you want to nail that, you will need a flash meter. Hopefully that is clear. An instance where you might want to

    use manual spot mode might be for concert or theatre lighting. I typically will spot meter the face of the subject and adjust

    the shutter till the meter in the view finder shows a correct exposure to get ballpark shots quickly. Always check the

    histogram if time allows.

     

    Let us know how the next test goes!

  2. Just an observation but it seems that a lot of people have forgotten

    the definition of originality. A 7/7 might be appropriate, but some

    thought should be given before a 7 is dished out on a really

    aestheticaly great picture. Also an not so aestheticaly pleasing

    picture might also be really original.

     

    I think the idea is to encourage the photographer to think outside the

    box.

     

    Any thoughts?
