My friend has a new Digital Rebel and most of her photos with flash EZ430 are underexposing. We've looked up in the book on exposure compensation and it states that option is not usable on manual mode???? This just doesn't sound right to me. Everytime you set the compensation, it balances the shot when the shutter is partially pressed. She plays around withthe film speed adn shutter speed to get a good exposure, but may have to take 4 shots. She uses a Seconic Light meter and shoots what the meter states. What is she doing wrong? I even shot a wedding a few weeks ago with it and it also underexposed for me. I have been shooting weddings for over 10 years and have never had my exposures off in so many shots. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would very much like to buy this camera but not if there is so much work involved in getting the shots down pat. Too much work in shooting sports or children.
