hi guys/ladies,
i just got my hotshoe flash a while ago, and i am quite in doubt over something which is happening. my composition technique is the one whereby i use the centre spot to AF, then recompose and press shutter. i use manual mode btw so everything's fixed
but sometimes, when i do that, i get really underexposed pictures (especially when using fast shutter) or whiteout subjects. so i was thinking, does the camera metering and the flash unit's TTL metering work independently? (i.e. when i recompose, the ambient light component doesnt change, but the flash unit's TTL metering will meter the new 'centre' and meter off that instead, making it undesirable)
if thats the case, whats a plausible solution out?
thank you!
