Thank You for your input guys...I can't believe I made such a basic mistake. As Thomas902 suggested, my exposure comp on the the camera was set at -3. Duh!!
I guess i was thrown off by the fact that I was getting good results when shooting in manual on the flash.
Honestly I don't understand that, but at least I'm where I need to be now. I apologize, and Thank You at the same time. Happy 2022!

The first thing to check if you haven't already, is that you don't have exposure compensation dialed in on your D500. Then make sure that you are using a metering mode that matches your subject. Then check the Flash section on the first screen of your D500 shooting menu to make sure nothing weird is entered there...


Thanks for your reply. The "Flash Control" line item in my photo shooting menu doesn't light up to make any changes.

Here is how to use Flash Compensation on your D500 (Page 229)

Please realize that iTTL only works in Matrix Metering...
TTL works in Spot and Center-Weighted Metering

"...Ambient lighting doesn't seem to have any affect on the TTL images..." This is indicative of iTTL (NOT TTL)
Change to Spot Metering and ambient will be disregarded i.e. only the subject area will be metered for Flash Output.

Please read/study Nikon's explanation of the aforementioned. It has a huge impact on how your SB910 works

Hope this helps Mondolinni...
All the best on your photographic journey...

Thank You for Your Reply Thomas902, You always offer concise and helpful suggestions...with the settings I had, I never saw iTTL or TTL. All I get is TTL FP and TTL BL FP.

Nikon has TTL and TTL-BL flash modes. Try both modes. BL was backlit but now they call it balanced fill. It should be BF now instead of BL.

Hi Folks!
Holiday Greetings... I am shooting with Nikon D-500 and SB910 flash.
I'm looking for some help in identifying an issue I have with my "flash" results.
It seems I am getting "consistently" under exposed results with TTL, while shooting in manual mode on the flash results in excellent exposure; all be it needing adjustment with settings +/- with power output. Ambient lighting doesn't seem to have any affect on the TTL images. I just can't wrap my head around what I'm doing wrong.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
From past experience I know this is the place to get the best help.
Thanks!!

So Aperture and shutter for ambient, and flash on manual at those settings depending in intensity; right?
