Actually, there is an even better way, although it too is manual: Use a flashmeter to meter incident (not reflected) light right at the subject, and set the camera accordingly. This is *very* reliable, and cannot be fooled by bright faces or dark backgrounds.

OK, so how would I fire a on camera flash like the F280 and trigger the light meter? I understand how to do this with Studio flash but not shoe mount flash!
