[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 220121, member: 17556"] It should use its built in TTL mode as long as you have the camera set to use TTL flash. Still, direct flash is not pretty usually. Try this, it worked well for me once . . . . Cut a small strip of toilet tissue just long enough and tall enough to entirely cover the flash head by wrapping it around. Use some masking or painters tape to secure the ends at the back side of the flash so it does not interfere with the flash output lens. See if this diffuses the flash and gets rid of your blown out faces. If so, you have a diffusion necessity. If not, it is something else such as your settings or distance to subject. [/QUOTE]
