Your exposure mode preference for P-TTL flash?

I am going to put some of this advice into use this weekend. the place is nicely lit so I will not be needing that much flash.
But its nice to use flash to get the subject pop out of the background.

One question though. will a pttl flash go off even if your exposure is above 0?

I understand what you mean with all manual setting but I am talking about AE metering modes. Do you use spot, center-weighted, or multi segmented?

I am guessing all of these will give a different result?

Nice shots and nicely lit. What is your metering mode. I am guessing not spot metering at least. Center weighted?

I have been wondering this same question recently. I was wondering the best setting for a wedding i did using pttl flashes.
I decided to shoot in TAv mode and let the auto ISO float. For most of my shots I saw that the ISO was always maxed out.
I thought that with the flash, the ISO will be on the lower side. So I have decided that with next similar situations I was going to lower the upper side of the auto ISO.

At some point in the event I put my flash into HSS mode and my camera into AV mode. The reason was that I was going in and out of sunny places to low light situations.
With my aperture and ISO constant and shutter speed floating I could get the shoot even if it wasn't perfect, it was close enough.

I believe manual might be the best option. But I dont have enough experience to completely use it yet.
