Not predictable?
There's just one sensor in a DSLR, fixed in its place, so it seems to be
much easier to "predict" it's reflectivity, compared to a film camera,

The flash quenches when its sensor is happy. If your lens aperture and
distance were correct (indicated by the slider and thus affected by
the ISO setting)
The problem with Digital is the regular TTL method relied on reflections
off the film (It's actually TTL-OTF), with the exception of the Fuji S2
Pro, no DSLR can do that sort of metering, the sensor's reflectivity is
not sufficiently predictable. Hence the reliance on preflashes.
Actually, both
hooting in studio conditions is a different matter - I love it.

Hello Jens,
I can understand what you are wanting here. For DSLR's everyone has
gone to a pre-flash technique for their TTL metering. I prefer
regular TTL. When the ambient light is high and the flash is just a
fill, the pre-flash doesn't seem to cause too many problems. When the
light is lowe

Another solution is to eschew P-TTL or TTL flash: use an external
flash with its own flash sensor. I've used the Sunpak 383 so far,
fitted with a Lumiquest Mini-Softbox. It returns excellent results
with the *ist DS.

Good advice, Mark. I shot an engagement party a few weeks ago and after
considering the options and experimenting a bit, I worked almost exactly as you
suggest. I did use autofocus part of the time, but after missing a few shots in
the dark, I went full manual. The lighting was a mix of indoor t
