Re: fill flash problems on the *istD

[Paul Stenquist]

As has been noted here before, flash photography with the *istD is 
tricky. First, you should shoot at iso400. Second, shoot RAW, so you 
can easily correct exposure problems. In truth, if these were RAW 
format, and I had to work with them to produce a suitable shot, I'd opt 
for the first one. Both the third and fourth have way too much flash in 
my opinion.

my new
Sigma EF-500 flash. A lot of the photos came out fine, but some came 
out
really dark. Here are some samples. The first two are dark, the third 
is too
bright and the fourth looks good.

I shot everything at aperture priority, and the flash fired every 
single
time. What went wrong?
