I have an SB700 which I use off camera, rigged on a monopod and have a set of transmitter/receiver Phottix Stratto triggers that only have TTL capability controls in themselves in that when my transmitter is mounted on my camera I can only adjust exposure compensation but if I manually go over to my flash and set it to manual and adjust there, it still triggers.
I took some test shots in TTL mode but selected the three different flash output modes; standard, center weighted, and the one for exposing or outputting the flash to the entire scene and there wasn't any difference between the 3 shots in terms of ambient exposure. I believe shutter speed also controls ambient light so I adjusted for that as well. Why?
Can I shoot creatively in TTL mode? Can I have a more exposed subject and underexposed background or choose to have the entire scene balanced in this mode? If so, how? I would have thought that by adjusting my flash output mode; standard, center weighted, etc (in TTL) and my shutter speed, that I would have seen this different. I must add that I was shooting in either aperture of shutter priority.
