Light Meter - Technical Inquiry

[Samerr9]

If the flash is on the camera it is true.

The quote refers to studio strobes, so it probably isn't true...

true, it was refered to studio strobes. But Schwettylens is being ironic..

I don't know if I would meter right next to the chin but meter 2 ft back or so and you should be good.

Sorry but that is confusing!

If I meter 2 ft back, then the subject will be over exposed as it will be closer by 2 ft to the lightsource!
