Fantastic series of videos explaining flash dynamics. Thank you Desmond, for taking the time to put these videos together so that others can learn. Your method of teaching is hands on, with easy to understand narration. I particularly like the videos on remote (sound & light) triggering of camera functions. Hell I like them all. Reading details from a manual is laborious and sometimes the meaning is ambiguous. Keep up the great work mate
Thanks very much for the feedback - it makes it more worthwhile doing it when I know people are learning from it :)
Brilliant information sharing Desmond, thank you very much.
I have a question....
Does the active focus point make a difference to how the camera meters? I use manual focus point selection and wonder if the ttl/bl mode still uses the other focus points?
Also I recompose after focusing on eyes, will this mess up exposure? I notice that my camera meter changes very often as I move the camera for composition and this is why I mostly use manual mode to lock in exposure.
Thanks for any comments.

Hi Allan , TTL-BL itself uses the whole 'focus point diamond' when it meters - it doesn't care which focus point you have selected .
Only when you are in manual and matrix metering does the active focus point come into play and it's generally only at the critical point where you are in manual mode and the meter suddenly moves from -2/3 to "-1 " that you will see much difference because it's at that point that TTL-BL , which is 'watching the meter ',decides it is time to take over the exposure with the flash power .
