Dr. Flash always recommend manual flash control for best and consistent
results. But if you want to shoot digital TTL (and especially if it's
Canon TTL) then you should read every article you can find on this page
with TTL or fill flash in the title.

If you don't subscribe to Will Crockett's "Smarticle" email notices
you'll have to sign up to be able to read this stuff. You get some
weekly tips interspersed with some ads for his products and services
but I think it's well worth it.
If you'd like to see it all put together with some additional stuff you
might consider buying this pair of DVDs from one of Will Crockett's
flash seminars. Costs $39. I thought it was worth it.
