If close-up pictures are overexposed, try using the main flash by itself.
When the main flash and the FL-40 are used together, the main flash is used as the
compensating light source. This means that if the amount of light from the FL-40 is
insufficient (beyond its working range), the resulting pictures may be underexposed.
Note:
First, do steps 1 – 3 of “Using both the main flash and the FL-40 external flash” (P. 177).
