Manual is manual. If it is blown out you need to dial it back.

ETTL shoewing black is a totally different few questions. How long have you had the flash and how familiar are you with speedlites?

Why do so many people say "FER-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?

ive had it 3 years.

i know speedlights very well.

when its in manual at f22 it is a white screen from to much light at 1/128 power of the flash..thats its weakest..it should show a dark shot not blown out

A truly black picture or one in which only the brightest highlights are exposed? And on what camera?
