When i use this lighting with my canon 7d or mark iii, and shoot continuous, one photo is correct exposure and other is over exposed. any idea why?

Maybe you have to check on your camera settings. I think you could have issues with continuous shooting because sometimes the strobes doesn't charge so fast.

I'm having this issue, too. Camera seems to get confused and the whole frame becomes blurry rather than focusing on the one object. It takes several attempts to register what I'm trying to do, and then it's too late - opportunity has passed and subject has moved. Time to really study my manual I guess or maybe this is a shortcoming with this camera.

If you take pictures with a flash, it will cause a light gray "crescent glow" on one side of the image. The only time I ever use a flash is for stuff I don't care about. Any photo without the flash will be fine.

Allan, I have never heard of a problem like that, I have used a number of these cameras, and have never had that problem. I would send it back. Do you have a 3d photo club where you live? Here in Utah there is an amazing group and I know in most states there is also, there are a number of people who have worked in the 3d industry for many years that may also be able to help you more if you contact one of these groups. They are online. Good luck Sandra

Mine is not working with my 6D :( I took it to the camera store and tried it on another 6D and it did the same thing, the flash will fire but the picture will still be dark. I would say on a test of 15 shots, 14 would be dark and 1 would be correct, even though the flash fired each time. We tested it on each of the modes on the flash as well as manual and auto modes on the camera, always with the same negative results. I then placed the flash back on my canon T2i and it worked perfectly on my old canon as it always did :/.

I have not seen this issue with my camera. I have experimented with all of the various video settings and could not create this. Make sure you have enough lighting.

I have a Canon elph 750 and a elph 790 new. They are both producing orbs on my pics. My old Fuji finepix 700 does not. They are saying it's because the lens in located too close to the flash and is lighting up dust or mist in the air. My Fuji is long and the lense is far from the flash. They just got carried away with the "small" camera and someone needs to fix it. I'm returning both of these cameras and waiting till they do. It's too common of a problem for them not to address it. No one wants spots on their pictures. They show up on faces too. If anyone knows of a new camera that has fixed this problem please let us know. I have a Canon elph 750 and a elph 790 new.

My Pen Name said it exactly.Does your camera have a "high iso" Feature? thats good for low light situations, but you will have to hold the camera very still.

Your sensor might be dirty - this requires professional cleaning. The battery would have nothing to do with it. Your lens might be set to MF (manual focus) on accident too!

Check your battery life, also if you are using built in flash it takes a little longer. Are you in manual or auto? If manual do a faster shutter speed and adjust ISO accordingly.

So far I have not had a problem with the flash. However, most of the photos I have taken have been landscapes with good lighting so the flash hasn't been used all that much. Sorry I haven't anymore info and good luck.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

Thank you. I have the problem of horribly overexposed photos with the flash. On Christmas day about half of the photos were washed out with the flash, in Auto mode. When we turned off the flash, some photos were ok, but others were blurry. I tried other rooms with different lighting, with and without flash, and again the problem of washed out subjects. Any suggestions? thank you.

Don't forget to manually adjust the aperture (the adjustment ring on the adapter). Wider aperture - &gt; more light gets in.

I think you are right here. I don't believe it is a lens problem as I have see this problem across a couple of lens. I did two things that seem to make a different, the first was I completely reset all the camera setting and second thing I did was up grade the camera fireware from version 1.0. 4. to version 1.0. 9. This seems to have made a difference.

What is happening that you feel the shutter is being left open too long? Are you shooting in manual mode? I know the only issue I had with this flash was cannot shoot with a long shutter because it blacks out the photo. Is that what you're having?

I'm sorry but I've never experienced this problem with my camera. Try contacting the manufacturer pentax.
