Many good advices already. My initial thought is the P mode. It limits
your shutter speed, thus you might end up with underexposed background.
Try to see what the P mode gives you for shutterspeed without flash in the
similar situation. If it's far less than 1/60, you'll get underexposed
background. 1/60 is the slowest P mode will use with flash if I remember
correctly. Best way to cure this is to switch to M mode, set the largest
aperture and some comfortable shutter speed (depending on your stability,
focal length, the effect you are after and everything...), for instance
1/20. You might also like to set the second curtain sync on - but be avare
that then the pre-flash comes more separately from the main flash and that
can cause your subject to close eyes...
E-TTL works just fine on EOS 50e. Just remember to use the
correct focusing point as the exposure is based on the used focusing
point. If you use manual, then I think it reverts to using either just the
middle point or all the points for flash exposure. In both cases it's not
as accurate as using specific af point.
Best regards,
Hugo.
