Regardless of which meter you use for metering ambient light, flash exposure metering is performed with a separate sensor in the mirror box (the others are masked by the mirror at the time the flash fires). It attempts to match the flash exposure to the reading taken by whatever ambient meter was active when the shutter was pressed. Since the F4 only has a spot meter in the body, the flash exposure will be adjusted to match that. -Don
