Can this give you a percentage of flash to ambient light?

No-This does not give percent of flash. That value is dependent on variables the exposure meter cannot control. It does have a flash mode to capture the flash when triggered. You would need to change the flash setting yourself and verify the exposure settings on the meter correspond to your camera settings.

Yes, but not directly. I wish it could. It gives a combination ambient + flash reading for any selected shutter speed. By setting the shutter speed at 1/500 you take out the ambient component leaving a flash only reading. It also gives an ambient light only reading. With these two readings you can derive the percentage. If you are regularly concerned about key to fill light ratios like me, you will probably take the trouble and with this unit you have excellent control.

No, it just gives the f stop amount of light upon pressing the shutter button of the light meter

Yes. Under all the modes, there is a setting called EV where you can adjust for brightness. Hope this helps.

Technically yes but it is not the safest way to do it. This unit tends to losen up. I have 3 of them and would not put such an expensive flash on it.

It can vary. I use this for indoor room photos for my business and most of the time the results are better woth out the flash. You can also manually adjust for low light.

Yes, you can turn the flash off. It also has different settings for the type of flash you might want.

You can but, honestly, it's one of those get what you pay for products. The strobe can't be adjusted in regards to power, you have to use the warm filter just tiger a balanced color, as it is as warm as spilling light blue pair on your subject. Would NOT recommend.

Possibly, the flash speed is adjustable. however you may need 2 or 3 for the proper effect.

Wish I could answer but I only use it on the camera and don't have another flash.

Yes you could do that. Just make sure you turn it on and off quickly to avoid any extra power to the flash adjuster.

I only use it for video as it is too bright for ambient light. It does not, however, act as a flash and fire when the shutter is depressed.

I find that this meter works great and is accurate for my indoor and outdoor shoots. It measures only the flash and not ambient. It does have its quirks, if I need to meter lower power then f4, the meter seems to be not sensitive enough to get a proper reading. So I have to swing it a bit. With higher flash power as in f8 or f11 mine is very accurate. Hey its what we get for being cheap! We could saved a hundred more bucks and got a very decent meter, but this one does work for me. Try maby metering for the ambient with your camera and then meter the flash. Dont know if this helps but mabe it will be usefull to you.

Yes. You go to Menu&gt;Camera settings&gt;2&gt;Flash mode. Select "fill flash" from the menu and the flash will go off, regardless of the light levels. Naturally, the flash needs to be opened/up for this to work.

Inherent brightness is controlled by whether on battery or not. As to ambient light sensing: mine works well.

Not that I know of. There may be a way to set it so it does, but I am not aware of it. To me it is not a major problem. You can judge pretty much when you need to use flash. Also, you can easily pop up the flash to provide fill light when taking a photo of someone with harsh lighting conditions.

Yes but it is a basic flash! Better than the onboard pop up flash! Good for about 10 to 15 feet or less.

Yes, it is the same than having the flash plugged to your camera...It gives good results when you are close to the subject and you dont have a white ceiling to bounce your flash...This is a sample... http://www.tourvirtualcostarica.com/images/images-gallery/Christian.jpg

I don't have the answer to that but the flash failed the 2nd time I turned it on and I returned it. I do not recommend buying it.
