Re: There is no bounce flash bug/problem

All the advanced cameras, as opposed to the Rebels, attempt to balance the flash level with the ambient light level. The Rebels, apparently (I don't own one) assume the flash is at all times the primary light source.

I have not experienced this with my XSi, T3i, or T6s.  The ETTR system seems to monitor the total light and to obtain correct exposure at least when using manual mode.  This is true is most of the light is ambient or from the flash.  I often balance the ambient and flash lighting by adjusting ISO and shutter speed/aperture.  In each case the camera obtains a correct exposure.  Direct or bounce flash does not change this.
