Yeah they all do that, except the K7 and hopefully also the KX.
The best way to solve this is to set the flash exposure in the camera self to the correct value, the camera keeps that in his memory so you don't need to set it up always that way.

I've my flash set to +0.7 others will probably have +0.5 or +1 so you really aren't the only one.

If you don't see it, it doesn't exist so why wander?

You mean here in the gallery?
Everyone has that problem so it's forum related so far as I know.

#3 for me too, the same reason as Michal.

Do you know what type of engine this is?
I know it's a multi-row 14 cylinder radial engine but from what manufacture?

Oh no Mhuni we also have the cash-back here, in the terms they said this.

Customers will receive their refund in local currency (Pounds for UK Customers….
This cashback is only valid for products which have been supplied and distributed within Germany,
Austria, Switzerland, France, UK, Ireland, Estonia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Spain, Italy,

Good to see we're included as well for once

Also it seems you can order products from abroad and still use the cash-back, at least I can't find it anywhere where it says you can't do that.

Good to hear you've sorted things out Greg.
And why do you hate that you aren't right now, it only makes life easier like you said

Very good Ian and you surely can pan.
What focal length and shutterspeed did you used, if I may ask

Yes that is it, shutter speed isn't important in this matter.

And if you use ISO 200 you will have a GN of 96 so you will have 12 metres.

Hello Greg and don't worry we're all patient here and there are no stupid questions... certainly not since I can't really give an answer now

I know it has to do with luminance, that is the key thing in all this but it's quite hard to understand that and since I'm not sure I understand it I can't explain it.

I can push you a bit in the right direction though.
Luminance corresponds to the total amount of light coming from a given surface area. Luminance, also called lightness or intensity, is used along with hue and saturation. It basically describes the amount of light that passes through or is emitted from a particular area and falls within a given solid angle. Luminance is an indicator of how bright the surface will appear.

Now since we talk about surface area, a surface will look smaller when distance becomes greater but the luminance or let's say lightness per square metres stays the same.

Since the surface becomes smaller the subject have less "power" to illuminate something, but we don't want to illuminate something with the subject but capture the luminance and like said before distance is not important for that.

Well you can say since the subject appears smaller, it needs to illuminate less pixels, and that would be the drop off then that you're seeking for. But the pixels will be illuminated just as bright if you stand 1 metre away or 10 metres.

I hope that explains it a bit

Amin you do make a point there but in a way AUTO is also manual mode.

AUTO mode do the calculation, this one to be exact Distance = GN / f-number and shows that on the back of the screen meaning you know what's going on without doing calculations for it. You still need to do everything by hand though.
You can of course play till you get it right but when time is short that's not always an option.

It's like road dancer say, only the distance subject to flash is important or how the light travels if you bounce it is important.

And yes road dancer there is a formula.
GN = distance × f-number.

Normally GN is at ISO100 so if you double the ISo you will double the GN as well.
