This is normal. With the SF20 set on Manual the flash outputs full power
(unless you change the setting "+/- P" to reduce it). The aperture number in
the display which does follow the setting on the lens, is for information
purposes only, it does not have anything to do with output.

Hope this helps,
Gilbert
