So from what I've gathered about shooting SLOG2 is that you should overexpose by +1 or +2 stops. Been getting good results but wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the exposure metering jump when you hit record. Example: Before hitting record my meter will read +1, but then when I hit record the exposure metering jumps to +2 or above. My Question: Which metering should I trust A: Before hitting record (or) B: After hitting record? I don't own a light meter so I can't really do the tests myself. Thought maybe the community might have some insight on this. Thanks!

Hi All, I posted this question in an underwater photography forum, as that's my focus, but didn't have much success in getting responses. Maybe it's too technical a question, but I thought i'd try again in different forums. I'm working to understand how my a6000 works in detail with the aim of (possibly) making my own LED TTL converter. At the moment I use the a6000 with its internal flash to trigger a set of underwater Sea & Sea YS-D2 strobes using my optical cables. I either use the strobes in manual or TTL mode. The TTL is reasonable, but not always perfect. I wanted to understand how the a6000 TTL system works, so I connected a little oscilloscope to my hotshoe x-sync pin and used the other channel of the oscilloscope with a photodiode to monitor the flash. See attached 2 screen grabs for two flash types - Fill Flash, Rear Sync. I also did a slow sync, but it's result was remarkably similar. I wasn't able, in any case, either Manual, Aperture priority or full automatic, to witness any pre-flash whatsoever from the camera's internal flash. Does the a6000 meter TTL during the exposure? Am I missing something here. Welcome any insights, comments or suggestions to be able to run another oscilloscope test. Cheers!
