There was a long discussion on this recently on the list. I had believed
that using the exposure comp dial to adjust fill would work, but it was
pointed out to me, I now believe correctly, that this will not work if
you require your ambient exposure to remain constant. The EV will be
affected if you do this even though you will get more or less flash.
