[QUOTE="Needa, post: 840498, member: 37799"] Welcome! How I would approach the problem is: Make sure the camera is far enough back from the subject to auto focus reliably. I would use single point focus. Preferably tripod mounted. Be sure no exposure or flash compensation are set. A reset from the menu might be worth a try. Put the camera in manual mode with ISO set to 100 and the aperture set to F8 no flash, in a normally illuminated room this should result in a dark image. At this point try the flash in manual mode and TTL to see results. Setting the camera to manual and the flash to manual at the same working distance will allow repeatable results for different subjects. Posting an image with EXIF is helpful when trouble shooting problems on the internet, [/QUOTE]
