Balancing flash with available light.
This is a gallery of a few shots put together for a class drill. The
idea is to light the foreground subject with the flash and the
background with available light. The lightness/darkness of the
background is controlled by changing the shutter speed. The
That's quite instructive. In the 3rd picture, though, you write Flash
adjusts output to keep the foreground subject correctly light. The
flash doesn't need to adjust the output - for the same distance and
aperture the flash output should remain constant, and TTL isn't
needed.

Yes, I probably wasn't very clear. As the aperture changes the flash
will compensate. I should probably rephrase that comment and move it
to the intro.
I shot a series in Av mode, running the aperture from f/2.8 through
f/11. In Av mode, with the flash on, the camera seems to like 1/125
sec
In Av mode, Pentax camers use the FL of the lens to pick the lowest
useable shutter speed using the 1/FL formula, so when you mount a lens
that reports it's FL you'll get the rule of thumb shutter speed,
adjusted for the difference in size for the APS-C format vs the 35mm
format, (if you

Given the number of lenses you own, I can kinda understand your sentiment.
To have an automated process taking care of it would be great.
However, it depends both on how many lenses one owns, and on how often
one buys a new camera. For myself, I think I wouldn't change cameras
more often than
I suppose it's possible to create adjustment software. Perhaps we'll see it one

On the other hand, you don't have to fine tune the focus points for the K20D.
If you don't, it will perform the same as a K10D, with some variation in focus
accuracy. Many K20 owners have told me they don't

Dunno, Paul. The foreground looks a bit too flash-lit

off to the right, to light the foreground and still

That would be good, but too much work for a shot of my garden:-). Seriously,
taking it off camera wouldn't necessarily reduce the foreground light. Perhaps
one stop less flash or a bit of burning in would make it work better for you.
But I'm okay with it as shot.
