I'm starting to learn about flash photography and purchased a basic flash to try out. When using ETTL mode I get a strange behavior when bouncing off the ceiling.
Camera: EOS 1300D Flash: Neewer 562c
All shots at 1/60 F9.0 ISO:800
Without Flash:
So I turn on the flash, its set to ETTL, I point it straight forwards and get:
I try pointing the flash straight up to bounce the light off my white ceiling and get:
I have no idea how that bar of odd exposure at the top is being formed.
If I then set the flash to manual at 1/16 still pointing up I get a reasonable image:
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Edit: As stated flash works fine in manual mode. Taking flash off camera yields same results. Taking burst shots occasionally results in a good image. At 1/40 and 1/80 there is no odd bar of exposure but image is entirely underexposed.
