How do I adjust my exposure when using a flash? My meter reads the scene as is, so I realy have no way for determining exposure with the flash. Thanks :confused:

You didn't say what kind of flash, or what kind of camera.

Take a look at http://photography.about.com/od/basics/a/bpaccflash.htm

If the flash is up [open] then the N80 will automatically calculate the fill in flash in P or A modes. Check N80 manual about the other modes.

You can get a the manual from http://www.butkus.org/chinon/#n on the modes using the Nikon F70/ N70D AF or Nikon N70.

I hope this clears this up for you.
