Hi guys, sorry for a noob of a question ( I have many of them in future I'm sure)
So i have a Canon T2i
Just got a 420EX II flash for pics indoors
One thing i dot get is the exposure meter when using a flash
Say is a dark inside shot. If i have settings at something like 1/250 f8 iso100, then when i look through the view and half press the metering obviously detects a hell of a underexposed shot and warns me to that effect
If however i turn on the flash and take the shot with the same settings I still get the exposure bar warning me of under exposure, but when I actually take the shot and the flash fires the exposure is great! So why does my exposure meter not take into account the fact the flash will fire?
Sorry I can reword if needed
Thanks !
