Hi guys,
I am currently on Bohol Philippines and am trying to take the best possible pics with my new S-2000 together with my S95.
However I am coming across 2 problems:
1. The manual of the S-2000 seems to have been translated from Japanese to English with babelfish or so. Sometimes it doesn't make sense.
My specific prob is that then manual tell the following: If I want to use my camera in Av or Tv mode for example, I should set the Inon to S-TTL for automatic exposure. So far so good. As far as I understood the S95 does R-TTL (realtime TTL), because it doesn't use a pre-flash. For R-TTL cameras the manual says to adjust the Ev knov to the 9 o clock position for full TTL. But this gives me constantly overexposed pictures, so that I assume it is not doing TTL, but S-TLL with the highest power setting of the flash. What am I misunderstanding and how should I set the Ev know to have decent automatic exposure?
2. I would like to block the internal flash better and tried to place a piece of foto film on the flash. Now I was surprised that, given the settings are completely the same as before (on Cam: Tv, forced flash, rest automatic; on flash: S-TTL, Ev know on TLL or 12 o clock position), the pics become way overexposed. Not just a bit brioght but almost completely white, so that you cannot even the anything on the pic. How can that be and what should I do to block the internal flash?
Thanks a lot for quick help!
