Metz 40MZ-3i flash with the G16 handle so the flash is off the camera. I shot 200+ pics in shutter priority mode outdoors. I occasionally got 'blown' out images when I was too close at the aperture was too small. But I think this is more the limitation of the flash not being able to put out less light.
