Hi everyone,

An upsetting discovery after my upgrade from K100d to K200D, I noticed that my 540FGZ has lost its ability to properly expose anything. With the K100d, no matter how I bounced the flash, the exposures would come out very pleasant. I often bounce off the ceilings/walls and P-TTL would do the rest. With the K200D, I can't seem to get the FGZ to do anything I want. It almost always way underexposes my pictures and changing the flash output level makes no differences (exposure results are the same when dialed in + or - direction), placing the camera into P mode and turning the EV level to +2.0 has no effect either. I don't think there's anything wrong with the flash and so it would seem that it is the K200D's fault. Do I have a junk unit that can't talk to the FGZ properly?

Oh, one more thing, the system (K200D + 540FGZ) seems to work OK in wireless mode. But that could be because I am holding the FGZ closer to the ceiling/wall rather than P-TTL working properly.

This underexposure affect is much more noticeable on my Sigma 18-200mm than my P-FA 28-70mm.

Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Please advise.

Thanks.
KC
