Canon EOS 20D & 580EX - Underexposed pictures !!!


 
 
I have read all the advice that everyone has given regarding this problem. No matter what I do I get very underexposed picture. I would think that it is my newly arrival in the dSLR arena. I am a recent graduate from the P & S catagory.

My problem is that when I use the Built in flash I have no problem with exposure. When I put on the 580EX Speedlite is when the nightmere begins. I am desperately seeking any tips, settings advice, and other that will keep me sane during this low point in my amateur days as a dSLR user.

Kix Pix 		  Perhaps a re-read of the manual would help to answer this. Not to sound as if you haven't, but I read mine about a dozen times in the first two months. There are several books, I'm not sure if there is a Magic Lantern Guide for your flash, chances are it is. These can be helpful.
It's really hard to provide any essential tips without knowing your shooting settings and information. You may have a manual override on your flash to which you can increase the output, this could help you.

Jon Close 		  Uploading a sample photo would help. Include all pertinent data (exposure mode, ISO, shutter/aperture settings, flash settings, etc.).
