I did some final testing, and it seems that the Miranda flash has an extra
'mode' that the T20 doesn't have.. Pointing at a wall from a short distance
and watching what happens as I shut the aperture down, I get:
T20 -- starts off lighting 'over', then the green LED flickers, then it
lights 'under'. No surprises there.
Miranda flash -- starts off lighting 'over'. Then the green LED flickers.
Then I get _nothing_ lighting up. No flickering LED, no 'under', no 'over';
everything's out. Checking with the 'light up bars' button, there's
definitely nothing on other than the '1 second' bar for time.
Then I get 'under'.
So the question is, what does it mean when all the lights go out? From the
pictures I've taken, it seems as if the 'everything-goes-out' mode is still
exposed properly, so I guess I can just treat that as if the green light was
flickering. It's just a bit of a pain that I can't really tell the
difference between that and the 'under' light coming on without illuminating
the display, as it's a bit too dark to see the 'under' otherwise. Ah well,
not a big problem, just an annoyance.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
