I don't do much flash work which is why I need help. i attache the SF 20 to the M7 , turn both on with the SF20 being set to TTL. Camera has no film in it so it defaults to ISO 100 I would suspect. My question is that when i shoot towards a wall of books abut 8 feet away at f/4 neither the SF20 or the M7 indicate that it was an adequate exposure ( the flash icon goes away immediated and the 'ok' LED on SF 20 does not lite up) the SF20 is set on f/4. why is this because prior to shooting the SF20 says i should be ok up to 16 feet ( GN=66/4 =~ 16). I have to open up to f/2.8 to get both the SF20 and M7 to say that there was adequate exposure. What am I doing wrong?
