Maybe I did not explain it good enough. I have the camera set for f8. I set the flash for the model for a reading of f8. I set the 2 lites for the white background to f10 or f11. I did both. Now if I turn off the lites for the background and use the flash that is set for f8 on the model only .The image is exposed good. But when I shoot with the back ground lights turned on all 3 flash heads go off like they should. But the model gets under exposed . The book says when you shoot into a bright background you should use spot metering. Every person I talk to says never use the spot metering setting in the d100. I have done it in the past and never liked the results I get.
