Also keep in mind that the light meter for Manual can be misleading at times, and while you may have the same settings on your D5200 as you do your D750, realize too that the sensors are different, so the settings may need to be tweaked.
Here it is – the Nikon F with a light meter, right, and without one.
My FTb with its fully manual controls (with a tiny battery just for the light meter) was already archaic in the 1980s, with photographers cockily carrying their Nikon F3s and FM2s, Pentax K-1000s or (more rarely over here) Canon AE-1s or A-1s to work.
Once FV Lock is set on your Nikon Speedlight, the flash value remains at the locked in setting until the FV Lock is pressed a second time, the camera's light meter times out or the camera is turned off.
Just about every camera in the world these days has a battery, even if it is just to drive the needle on the light meter.
Pushing just means I take my photos at the “incorrect” light meter settings (underexposed) so that when the film gets developed, the timing is slightly off of the box recommendations and the resulting effect will be darker shadows and more contrast.
