While experimenting with the new flash today I noticed that I get different results in different modes. By this I mean, in Manual Mode, with the flash turned on, I have to adjust the SS to 1/4 and aperture to f4.5 to get the meter set about right, but the picture is out of focus. When I change to P(program) mode the results are quite different. With the flash turned off the SS is 1/4 and the aperture is f4.5 and the picture is out of focus, but as soon as I turn on the flash with the camera still on and in P(program) mode it changes to 1/60 for the SS at f4.5, and of course the picture comes out fine.
Throughout this test the camera was at ISO 400 and about two feet from the subject with the flash at about 75 deg. The camera is a Canon Rebel XT and the flash is the Vivitar DF-383-CAN(ETTL capable).
I hope this make sense. I was trying to use the camera in Manual Mode only just for the experience.
Thanks
