Re: Urgent bounce flash question 760D owners

It could be that you used average flash exposure mode instead of evaluative. Its been my experience that average is more consistent and predictable. I don't own the cameras you mention except the 350D, I used to own that too. Switching to a new camera results in defaulting to evaluative flash metering. I'm not sure where exactly the setting can be found but I suspect either in the flash menu or c.fn menu.

Even so, it could still be the shooting conditions too. Anything very reflective like glossy tiles, window panes, mirrors could affect exposure to a large degree. Or if you have an external flash within the frame could do the same.
