Hey guys, tought we could try to collect some data around the bounce flash issue that could help to push through the resolution. Don't know if age of the product matters but it might as well...

Here is the structure of the table:

Bounce flash status
Camera type
Camera serial
Flash type
Flash serial
Avg bounce flash overexposure (if any)
FW versions experienced

Let me start:

Exists
K-5
4002760
AF-540FGZ
LH17699
+2
1.03, 1.10

Thanks for helping
David

Camera settings would be more useful than SN and equipment. what ISO, what f-stop...?

I have a K5 and a Metz 58 AF2 . I have not had an overexposure using bounce. When I had my K-x I had several badly overexposed bounce flash shots, but found it was when using auto iso. Since then I always manually set the iso and do not have any problems.

OK, guys, I will set up an online spreadsheet to gather as much data as possible. Will let you know where and when it is ready.
Thanks for your suggestions
