To put it another way -- when using the F280 for fill-in, you're stuck with
whatever the F280 emits. The only way to change the amount of fill-in is to
change how far the flash is from the subject, or some light-absorbing material
over the flash. This is why the F280 works beautifully in some situations,
poorly in others.
The chart in the manual can be useful in deciding how far you should
stand from
the subject for "correct" fill-in.
Thank you, William. That is rather the conclusion I came to also,
but I needed some confirmation. Using it probably will require more
than a little experimentation in perhaps one or two usual
situations, i.e., also shoot at a certain shutter speed and F stop
with the subject at a standard distance. Limiting.
