But, but, but, but...
When I'm metering the scene, I'm thinking to myself, "Self, that
exposure needs one stop of boost." So, what do I do? I stop what I'm
doing, lower the camera so I can see the exposure-compensation dial,
take off my glasses since I can't read the numbers with them on,
adjust it, put my glasses back on, meter the scene again to get the
dots and meter to land in between the wedges? And then after the shot,
take my glasses off again to adjust the exposure-compensation dial
back to neutral...
NO!
I just adjust the stinkin exposure so the meter reading is one stop
overexposed! DUH!
:)
Actually, in the specific case of the OM-3Ti, it does somehow function
as an exposure-compensation for the dedicated flash, but I still
haven't got my brain wrapped around that. Understanding the
relationship between the OM-3Ti and the dedicated flash is akin to
trying to understand the CVT in my wife's Prius.
