I was experimenting with some equipment, and found (probably pretty predictably, if I had thought about it for a second) that if you set your exposure to something reasonable, say 1/80 f/4.0 ISO100 when using a flash in manual mode (indoors at night, i.e. proto-studio conditions), that your screen will reflect the underexposure, thereby making focusing a crap shoot, at best.
Is there any way to get a decent display on the LCD, while still using correct settings for your shot? I wanted to shoot some still lifes (still lives?), and it seems that other than putting the camera on a tripod, setting it to something like iso3200 so your in-camera exposure is correct, focusing the shot, then going back to your ISO 100 to use with the flash, that there isn't a way to do this.
What I am asking for is a preview override, I guess. Auto-ISO just for framing and focusing the shot.
Anyone have any experience with this?
The equipment is an NEX6, canon ST-E2 remote trigger, and canon 580EX flash, but that's not really important, either methinks.
