The image (little birds in puddles) has included water at a low angle of incidence and the flash light was bouncing off and not returning to the camera for correct TTL measurements. Some pics were overexposed with too much flash. So, I've been using F mode and a grey card to accurately assess the right amount of flash, then switching to P or M modes and letting TTL do it's thing but with the maximum amount of flash throttled back according to the tests I did in F mode. Works beautifully. Rick.
