Yes, it does, but how would that relate here? Using the same reasoning, I
would have to (falsely) say that my distance from subject lit by ambient
would change exposure, which would not be correct. Or, what you're saying
here--and how I understood it--is that Sunny16 (or Loony4) is false as
illumination will fall with the square of the distance.
