how come my 5400hs flash still over exposes with my minolta 7d. i have just purchased a minolta 24-105(D)

the pictures taken and still all over exposed. i understand with the older lenes but this one is ment to have the capatablity. i have checked every setting. i have even gone back to the basic full auto setting. can someone please help.

Jamie,

If you're having an overexposure setting, try changing the ISO down a few levels to ISO 100 or 200. If you go to manual and change your shutter speed to a faster speed (you can go as fast as 1/4000 of a second), this could help too. You can also adjust the aperture to a tighter level as well. Good luck and happy shooting.

hi andrew, i have tried all this, but as soon as you turn the flash on the camera over rides and reduces to 125 in speed. i did read some other info and they say that the flash can only be used in manual mode. And to do the work on sight with models continuing moving ( outdoors) for the flash to behave as it did on the 700si and 800si i would need to upgrade to a 5600hs flash. would you know if this true. as it seems pointless talking to some kid behind a counter who would tell you anything to get a sale. this is how i ended up in this mess. being told all my old minolta gear would work perfectly on the new 7D. any advise would be greatful jamie.
