Question regarding FEL

Postby hardyboy » Tue Jan 19, 2010 7:22 pm

I've got a stupid question...

When using FEl (Flash Exposure Lock) does it matter what metering mode you use? For example, if I use spot metering will the FEL use the same area to calculate the correct exposure or will it use some other method or is there simply a default that it uses?

I can't seem to find the answer anywhere...

*takes out notepad*

"FEL= Flash exposure lock"

Was wondering what that button does.
Niver miss an opportunity to photograph a good sunrise. It might be the only thing to remind you that your day did not start out that bad.
