I am scratching my head for nearly two houres now, here is the problem:
I am using the SF-58 on M9. TTL works fine, but there is a problem with Auto Mode and bounce flash.
In Auto Mode I am supposed to set the aperture manually on lens and flash (ISO info from camera).
Here is what happens:
Set aperture to f2.8 on lens and flash > exposure fine.
Set aperture to f8 on lens and flash > exposure 3 stops underexposed (as if flash is still set to f2.8)
I put the flash head to rest position, then back to bounce position > exposure is fine!
Same thing the other way around, then with overexposure issue.
Is this normal? I don't understand this behavior. I tried several times, always with the same result.
Is the flash supposed to be in rest position to change its output via its aperture setting?
Thank you very much!
