I was doing to test shots and metering with light meter I have in manual. I couldn't get a reading. turns out I didn't realize that even in manual mode it emits a pre-flash. I wasted to use the FV lock that only works in TTL though.

There was a firmware update to the odin tcu. it lets the preflash goes first then the full output you set to be recorded with a light meter.

Yup thanks I had to update the Odin. Works no problem now once the camera is turned off.
