The metering for both flash and ambient is supposed to take place entirely within the viewfinder-based measuring system, and the actual taking image plane could be made of green cheese (if you could figure out its DIN/ISO rating <)B^). It is really a mystery how Canon managed to screw the p00ch with the D30 metering, and maybe even the D60, with regard to flash exposure. The reported inconsistencies sound almost like they were doing some kludgy software timing loops waiting for analog values to settle, and they didn't get it right for all conditions. Whatever the problem, unless all those D[3|6]0 owners are hallucinating, Canon owes them a fix in firmware. dgw * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
