Have you tried making sure that you're using the catch panel when bouncing off the ceiling? I've found that it works perfectly this way. It sends just enough diffused light directly toward the subject (and adds a nice catch light in the eyes).
I use it this way and have no need for compensation in P-TTL in AV mode with the K10D at ISO 200 and 400. My flash photos this way are as near perfect as I could want. -Brendan --- J and K Messervy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I received my flash the other day and have been > playing with it a bit > indoors and out. > > First impressions are good, however the exposure > results in P-TTL are a > little disappointing.
