maybe cause of metering? Since it is TTL,which could affect the flash output,try manual,if manual works fine,my guess is the metering
sigh.. i though i mentioned it performed the same in M mode and A mode..
still dont believe this ?
same discussion on Dpreview for Fl-14
I got the FL-14 yesterday and I am very disappointed. The metering is very inconsistent : it's either ok or way too bright?.
I'm used to Nikon's Flash, and i had never encounter such behaviour !
I get the same problem, which seems a bit annoying to me. I like using slow sync at nite to capture the background objects but most of the time i end up with over exposed shots, even if i lower the flash intensity. I tried adjusting ISO, EP, and others but it doesn't help.
I hope this is one of the fixes Olympus is working on for their next firmware.

call me shallow.. i bought the FL-14 just for the look.
and I hardly use on-camera flash anyway.
cheers

but looking at his second set of shots with the bear, i would expect TTL to underexpose rather than overexpose since the background is light.
I just love this new Hoya HD CPL, very little light loss. Who uses a CPL at night ? Well, it was useful to get the glare out of this window.
The shoe cobbler painting looks real nice ...

Some IR from the E-P1, using Lumix 20mm f/1.7 lens, and Hoya R72 infrared filter. The E-P1 can still "see" through this dark filter in bright light, and AF too (except in dark shadow areas).
