[QUOTE="pistnbroke, post: 97181, member: 9514"] the critical thing in what you say is 1/10 sec ....this shows the camera was not set in iTTL flash mode and was trying to monitor the light present...it would have been at 1/60 in flash mode. Large is for the file size in your menu or you are not using all the pixels and wiil not be as sharpe in medium or small. Using a tripod or mirror up is not relavent in flash as the flash is about 1/1000 second and stops movement ... If you were doing this with flash umbrellas you need two one each side of the group,,but theys soak up a lot of power and would usually have a 600w flash head behind them your hand held unit is nothing like that power which is why I suggest using it bare but right over the lens (to avoid side shaddows ) ... If you want to try the brolly again you need it to trigger from the on camera flash. remote flash set in S1 or S2 manual full output and then use Aperture mode 1/60 and adjust the aperture by trial and error chimping the screen to see if the exposure is right. Better still use a long ITTL extension lead ..you can get these up to 10m on ebay. [/QUOTE]
