Subject: So my interpretation is that for my camera, I'm doing what I should be + Author: NLAVD Date: 4/4/2002 12:17:29 PM Message:    by locking the background exposure and then setting the strobe for the nearby subject...or trusting TTL if I'm brave (I do understand its limitations). I'm also interested to know how the "Multi-spot metering mode" could be used. I understand how it works but I don't have a grasp on where/how it would be useful. If you have any input, let me know. FWIW, here's the verbage about the metering modes: "Metering Modes - The C-4040 ZOOM offers users a choice of ESP multi-patterned metering and spot metering for easy, yet advanced exposure control. The ESP multi-pattern meter looks at a variety of areas in the subject area for proper overall exposure. Spot metering allows for pinpoint control of subject exposure using only the very center of the image area. The C-4040 ZOOM also includes a new Multi-Spot metering mode that combines up to eight spot reading positions and averages them together for total control over subject exposure."

Makes sense. The multi-spot on the Oly is, I think, different from matrix + (1)
