I thought you said before that you could hit the MODE button, and go into ETTL... that would be the Auto setting for the flash. Are you not able to do that?
Yes, I'm in ETTL, and it should be Auto setting for the flash, but if I zoom in close to something - the image is very, very washed out. If I zoom out, it's fine. Also, I would think when I put it in Zoom mode and adjust the dial, that the bar on the distance display (meters) would change - but it's the flash exposure compensation numbers that change - i.e. - +0, + 1/3, etc. when I hit Zoom, Select/Set Button, and then spin the Outer Select Dial. Why would the exposure numbers be changing?
