Interesting, Bob. Did you write this off the top of your head, or just do some

No, I distinkly remember, all the aliens back then spoke Basic. It was not until
Star Trek that they all spoke English. Then the authors started all trying to be
different, but that is another fairy tale.

English words that you can do 90% of your needed communication with and
be understood by any English speaker. Learn the whole damn thing in a
week. Been around since the 30's. Too damn simple, I guess.

Before I had the Z-1p which does a good job on outdoor fill-flash, I
preferred to use auto or manual instead of TTL flash which I do not have
precise control. With auto, I just set the aperture and shutter speed on the
camera to expose the background properly, then set the auto flash 2 f-stop

Wouldn't the background be overexposed then?

I've got the SP, not the LX.
A trick I've used on backlit subjects is to
get the background right and dial in 1,1.5,2 overexposure.
It fires then.

Many thanks for this. Quite intuitive to remember too.

Set your exposure for the sunset at the sync speed of your camera (the advantage
of leaf shutters here is obvious). Calculate the normal flash exposure for the
subject from the dial on the flash. Dial down the power of the flash as needed
to match the f-stop already set for the sunset expos

The best way I have found to do this kind of thing is manual exposure using a
ratio controlled flash so you can balance the flash exposure to just exactly
where you want it. I always find it easier to do these kinds of things myself
than to figure out how to program the camera and flash to do it
