I put this question out there and am curious if I am just missing the boat. My DSLR is a Nikon D90 and I have the separate SB-400 flash. I understand how to shoot in manual mode and how to check if my exposure is correct using the exposure meter on the camera (looks like a small ruler with grid lines). For example, when the flash is set to "off" I can adjust to proper exposure by adjusting the shutter speed or the aperture depending on the effect I wish to achieve.
The question is this--does the exposure meter in the camera function when I am shooting with the flash turned on? I believe the answer is no, that the meter only works with ambient light and does not meter flash. But, I still wonder if it serves ANY purpose when I am shooting with the flash turned on?
Thoughts? Thanks.
