Fill flash without fill-flash!

Someone a while back posted a "how-to" on a non-documented feature of
my Pentax ZX-5n in regards to fill flash. Finally tried it, and it
works like a charm. Just put the camera in metered manual, and use
the exposure compensation dial... details at my web site in the
articles section.

There's an experiment to try if your camera allows exposure
compensation in manual mode with a flash... I'm trying to collect
data on body/flash combos for everyone's reference. Again, see the
article.. positive criticism welcomed!

Later,

....either that, or simply use a handheld meter to make an incident
reading.
