C5050 - external flash

[chubbyman]

hi fellow Olympians!! :bsmilie:

I own a c5050 and it is really a nifty camera.
I just went into indoor photography and i find that using the inbuilt flash usually causes over exposure of the photos..

would like to know what are the recommended external flashes for the c5050 and the possible settings.

Thank you so much :sweat:

oly fl40 and use auto settings.

things to try before getting external flash, since it is overexposure, why not dial -1 or -1.3 on your flash compensation?

I did a test on various units and posted on this thread:

For FL-20, what did u use? Omnibounce? Cause it can't be adjusted and I am thinking of getting FL-50.
