Usually when that happens in TTL-auto, the reason is that you are too close and/or at too high an ISO setting for the flash to be able to accommodate the desired exposure by throttling down the power. flash units typically have a pretty limited range of auto adjustment to work with at closer distances, which is where a lot of diffuser material can help quite a bit, by cutting the total light output hitting the subject substantially. Even manual control has limits in this regard ... I never go anywhere with my flash kit without some kind of diffuser materials to spread and cut the light output. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
