FEC question

Well I think that this is kind of a noob question, but is there any difference in adjusting the FEC on camera, as opposed to on the flash unit when shooting ttl? Two ways of doing the same thing?

On the flash unit it will go down to -3, where as on camera it only goes to -2.

oh, 550ex and 40d. Thanks!

Either works. However, any setting (other than '0') on the flash will override any setting on the camera). If the flash is at '0' FEC, the camera FEC settings will be in effect.

ok, so there is no way to get to -3 FEC on the camera?

I assume that is a rhetorical question......

Sure there is, with the right camera.

I thought he was asking about the 40D

He already knows that the 40D only does +/- 2 FEC.

ahhh....isn't it great when you answer your own question and don't realize it at the time?

thanks!
