And how does one determine the power setting?  Either experiment if you have time for multiple shots or take your best guess based on experience.  Personally I will stick to center weighted metering and ETTL.  I can usually predict the final result and can compensate with the flash exposure setting if necessary.  There are lots of ways to get to the final product, but for me, I will trust the ETTL to do most of the work and to get the exposure correct most of the time.
