I just got a F58 and use it for my fren wedding in the 2nd day..
I found out that most of my photo are over saturated, my setting is "Vivid, +1, +1, +3". Bounce flash (60-90 degree) are used for all the photo.

This doesn't happen when I m using built in flash..

Hi, I m using A200, +1 for Saturation and contrast , while +3 is for sharpness. Last time My Vivid mode n standard mode has not much different..

"Hmm....  control the flash, you must. Manual power set, you use. Trial and error... only then good results you will get..." quote Yoda...  tongue.gif
I mean when using the external flash, try setting manual flash power to suit your environment. Test fire a few shots to get the optimal setting and then shoot. If you find you pics underexposed, then gradually increase flash power.

I do not understand what you mean by over saturated. Saturation means the colors of your pics. Are the colours too vivid? That's oversaturation and this is controlled by the creative styles and the flash has little effect on saturation.  hmm.gif

If you mean the flash appears too powerful and wash out the picture (overexposure) then it could be a matter of the flash firing at full blast due to dirty hotshoe contacts between your cam and the F58. Try cleaning the contacts with a blue ink eraser and try the flash again to see if the problem is resolved.  wink.gif

I mean.. the color is too saturated., too vivid like Red is too red..

Photo on left are taken directly from camera. It's oversaturate ? Under expose? wrong WB? Flash WB was used.
Right - after PP using Picasa3. Desaturate a bit and add in some fill light..
Sorry.. I have to chop off the head

Doing editing to correct the images.. 3 monitor gave me 3 different color.. doh.gif
