EF-42 and auto-ISO

[bmwexler]

Hey guys,

 

First post. Admittedly, I'm asking a quesiton I haven't tried for long to figure out as I just got my EF-42 flash dropped off on my lunch break and only got a half an hour to mess around with it.

 

I had it hooked up to my X-T10 and it seemed like my camera's exposure settings (SS and ISO) were the same regardless if the flash was being used or not, obviously causing some over-exposure when the flash was used. A couple indoor portraits had my camera staying at 1/60 ss and 2,500 ISO, again, regardless if the flash was firing or not.

 

If I set the ISO manually, say at 200, the flash seemed to work brilliantly, setting my shutter accordingly.

 

Any tips here before I start to dig in more this evening?

 

Any help is much appreciated!

I experienced the same but I think that's how it's supposed to work Coming from Canon I never ever used Auto-ISO, so imagine my surprise when my X-T1 chose ISO 3200 with the EF-42 flash. So remember to set the ISO manually and it's actually a pretty good flash.
