I am curious though, while the end results are acceptable (prints or
slides?), does the camera indicate "over" and "under" flash exposure for
those good exposures? And are you able to shoot at any aperture (keeping ss
under 1/60) without getting "over" and "under" warnings?
I am not doubting you, I just wanted a clearer picture of what the camera is
doing.
