Hello all,
I've said it before, I am experimenting with speedlight and now that I feel comfortable understanding the TTL mode I'd like to learn to use it with Manual mode. I'm shooting with a NIKON d600 and my speedlight is a Yongnuo 468ii.
Here's my question, I hope it doesn't make me sound completely dumb So when I shoot (in manual mode on my camera) in TTL mode (on my speedlight), my camera's light meter changes and lets me know if I'm over or underexposed as I'm playing with ISO, shutter speed, and apperture (I mean it works as it normally would without a speedlight). When I shoot in Manual mode (on my speedlight, as well as on my camera), the light meter on my camera doesn't seem to be affected by my speedlight (I mean it's as if the light meter wasn't considering that I'm using a speedlight). For example, in my dark living room to have a correct exposure on my camera using a speedlight on manual mode, I'd have to be at ISO 600ish at half-power on my speedlight... it doesn't make sense right?
I've read the manual, tried to check online for answers to my question. No luck.
Should I not take the light meter on my camera in consideration? Is it supposed to be like this...? Or is it because there is a setting on my camera I haven't understood/set properly?
Your help is very appreciated. Thanks a lot
