Flash problem Canon 650d + Yongnuo YN467

[Clash]

Hi all

I am new to the forum and I need to solve this problem very fast.

I bought new camera Canon 650d and my pictures with flash are very dark and blury. In Av mode when I open aperture to maximum 3.6, shutter speed goes up to 1/60.

It seems that it works better with 50mm 1.8 lens then kit 18-55 lens with same settings. What can i be doing wrong with this?

Before I had Canon 500d and flash worked very well.

Now, flash is fireing, but it looks like it is to early, or to late. I tried different options, but no luck.

Can you please help me with the advice?

At least where o start?

thank you

Using an external flash on your camera is likely causing it to turn off Auto ISO.

If that is the case then you should manually set the ISO higher when necessary.

After you've done this, if you still have pictures which are too dark, you can dial in exposure compensation.

I'm assuming you have the flash connected to the hot shoe of the camera, just out of curiousity, what mode is it in? If I remember correctly on this model it has LED lights on the back, is TTL lit or is it something else? If it's something else try changing it to TTL mode.

I don't know the YN467 -- is that a basic flash or does it have E-TTL support?

If it supports E-TTL then two things happen... the camera will meter as though you do NOT have a flash, but the camera will evaluate flash power and set the flash to fire with as though you ARE using flash. This gives you a nicely illuminated subject (or should anyway) and also allows the shutter to get more ambient light for backgrounds where the flash won't reach due to fall-off of light.

You can leave the flash on E-TTL (again... I'm assuming you are using E-TTL) and just set the camera exposure manually. The light is metered by the camera so it will compensate for aperture and you just need to make sure the shutter speed is below the max flash sync speed (but I prefer about 1/60th when using flash because the flash itself will "freeze" the subject and that way the camera collects more ambient light.)

Thank you all for your comments.

My flash is in TTL mode, but I have problem changing mode in camera settings. It looks like my camera stays in ETTL mode for some reason. If I change it, it just goes back after I go out of the flash setting menu. Like it does not save the settings.

I updated latest firmware. Should I update lens firmware too? Is this even possible?

Picture is much better with pop-up flash on camera then with external flash. Of course, I think it should be opposite.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Take a look at the EXIF data on the one you shot with the external flash, does it indicate the flash fired?

Data shows that flash was fired and show flash compensation +2.




I tried of camera flash and it works with out flash compensation. i attached example.


What can it be so it does not work on camera?
