When using a dedicated flash with D30 I came across a problem of major exposure inconsistencies. Whether its fill-in plash out door or indoors flash, you can not trust the camera & the flash to give you the same exposure in similar situations. More than not you get bleached out fair skinned faces and white clothes. Sometimes I had to tell the flash to output -2 stops in order to avoid overexposure and risking getting underexposed images. I'm working with a Canon dedicated Sigma EF500 Super and also tried it with the Canon 550Ex and the results were similar. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Raphael. What mode of light metering do you use when shooting outside with fill-in flash, Evaluative or Center-weighted? (When the objects are people with backlit background)
