The instructions are a bit ambiguous about ISO settings. Is the following assumption of mine correct: when in TTL mode, the ISO value that controls flash duration is taken from the camera; in "automatic" mode, the value is taken from that set on the Metz unit? ==================================================================== Yes. ==================================================================== Another question. In the control panel in which exposure compensation can be set (-3 1/3 EV to +3 1/3 EV) the value -2 is marked in red. There is no explanation for this. My guess is that - - -2 is a good choice for fill flash. Correct? ===================================================================== Partly correct. If you loook closely, you'll see that the +1/3 is also marked red. Used in combination, the -2 and +1/3 give you -1 2/3 EV, which is the same as the compensation used in the R8 in P mode for fill-in flash. The red-marked settings are those generally recommended for fill-in flash use.
