exposure - Underexposed image with Canon 5D III and flash


Just started using my Mark III with flash (Neewer TT560 Speedlite). And I'm getting strange results. At first I thought it was a battery issue and another set of batteries seemed to have fixed the problem, but now I'm getting this issue constantly.


This particular image was taken with following settings: f/2, 1/500s, ISO 500.


Any advise?enter image description here



Answer



You see the curtain of your camera: nice, no?


If you want to avoid that with mark III , use a shutter speed lower than 1/200s


You could use high flash speed sync, but I am quite sure that your flash can't use that, so with this flash, your only solution will be under 1/200s or use a ND filter to have less light entering your lens
