Sigma EF-530 DG ST Overexposing Badly, even with Omni Bounce Diffuser: Any ideas?

I have looked at the reviews and it looks like the trend is that Canon's are having this issue. Good luck. I ordered one for myself to use with my Nikon D40 I hope and pray it works.

Hi, Be sure you do not overfill the diffuser. To open hold bottom and twist the top, when putting back together drop on the lid, I look to line the black dots close together , then just twist till the dots are lined up. To turn on hold the time button until the green light comes on, then with each press the time will increase. Light depress lite button to advance through the colors.. Love mine once I figured out how to use it!

I had that problem, the aperture problem which resulted in overexposure. Called Fujifilm, sent the camera, and it fixed and came back. I paid the shipping cost to their service center but service was quick and replacement itself was free. I had that problem with quite early lot, but I guess current lot does not have such problem or if you have then you can get the replacement service.

I don't know, mine is off too. I'm using mine to also get professional looking product as well and have been disappointed. I'd love to know if there is a way to remedy it!

I doubt it; there are no adjustments to the diffuser so there is not much to do except keep it as clean as possible. You might try and see if the company would honor a warranty claim but they don't seem to stand behind their product very well.

Thank you so much for the info. The clouding was a BIG factor against Sony, but if its fixed, Ill probably lean towards the Sony. Thank you again!

I had the same problem, because this model is too similar with the compatible canon model. This lens is "designed specifically for APS-C sized sensors and Sigma SA Lens Mount" as is advertised (anyway, this very important fact should be more visible than it is)

Had the same problem (although it did come with a manual). Sent it back. Buy the Sony CFDS50 - much better.

Try looking at Google images under the search "before after flash diffuser"

yes, there is an over heating issue with this flash. I have experience it with my unit many times. more towards the 25-30 hits range.

I don't think it would be worth it for getting warrenty service. The fix is generally to set the iso to 60 or something and work with some of the functions. Problem was I believe autofocus tends to calculate the iso too high in certain lighting situations and so create alot of noise which appears to be outoffocus

I experienced this on my second for a few days then it went away.I made sure the machine was on solid wood floor (I inserted a flat square board below it to ensure the sensitivity adjustment ring is resting on firm ground. I also lifted the globe and repositioned it somehow that did it. Also check the sensitivity setting - move it to somewhat less sensitive setting.)I hope this helps.

I think you have a defective diffuser! Directions came with mine. Top should remove very easily. Return that for a replacement!

Hi Marc,Sorry, I have not even been able to use mine since it arrived broken, andfotodiox was unable to help me.But, have you tried extra lighting fromdifferent angles? This usually helps.

Try adding 6-9 grams to the right side. That is how I fixed mine, in the end I returned it and got the mix f45.

I would thank that you would. Have to read all of the spectra for each model # and compare closely, could be an extra coating on the linse, could be minimem focal distence just compare very closely
