Very new to photography. Recently brought a Nikon d5200 and was not to happy with my photos, which are done primarily in doors. People suggested I get a speedlight first over a new lens (which I brought anyway 35mm prime). I got lucky and brought a Nikon Sb700 at a very very good price. Wow what a change in the quality of the photos.
The one question I have, which I hope someone can help with, is when using the SB700 with TLL do I ignore the light meter of the camera? Or do I still try to adjust exposure using the in camera light meter and meter to center? The reason I ask, is often times the light meter is saying I am two stops of light underexposed, I take a picture with the flash and it comes out very good. Does the pre-flash from the actual flash unit know that I am underexposed and compensates? Want to ensure I get good exposer as much as possible.
Thanks
John
