I have my flash set at TTL and shot out door, my light meter in camera say 1 stop over. would my camera flash SF20 still fire or it should not fire? in what case the flash will not fire? According to what I experience, my flash keep flash anyway does not matter how much I over exposure. Is this right? or is it something wrong with my camera TTL control? How do i test to see my camera TTL control is correctly working? I just want to make sure I have use my flash correctly. those problems above really pondering me and that why I am always worry and doubt about when I use flash SF20 on my LEica M6TTL Olivier >From: Pascal <cyberdog@attglobal.net> >Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >To: LUG <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> >Subject: Re: [Leica] reduce flash >Date: Mon, 01 Apr 2002 12:52:09 +0200 > >On 31-03-2002 23:50 G.
