I can understand
My guess is that the programming for the TTL flash was lifted directly
from the ZX series of cameras, and doesn't
take into account the difference in reflectance of the digital sensor
(and it's smaller size), compared to film. It should
by all rights be more consistent, since the reflectance
(oops!, capture) to the next but more
of a gradual 1.5 - 2 stop difference overall from 4 to 22.
As usual, I'm baffled. ;-)
I'm used to the 5n and Super A which do perfect TTL
flash with nearly any lens type or setting.
Any idea how this does/should work on the D?
