I am currently owning a nissin di866 mark 1 flash with an eos 60d camera. It seems that the flash would always fire at full power no matter what settings i set it on in manual mode. Furthermore, the pictures that i have taken in a pitch black room with the flash at full and lowest power is the same. Both are extremely overexpose. Fruthermore, the ttl mode and auto mode on this flash always underexposes the image very badly and i am using direct flash when taking the pictures. Is this a faulty unit? Should i return it to shashinki and ask for another di866 unit to replace this faulty one? I can still return it for free until this friday.
Flash unit firing at full power even with the lowest settings in manual mode.

If u do manual mode (as if flash in manual mode), u do have to step it down. As most of the time it will stay at 1/1 power ratio by default i guess.
For your auto camera mode, u can play around with flash compensation. Or maybe u choose wrong metering system somehow...

I already adjusted the flash to fire at the weakest setting and it still fires at full power. What is the problems? Or should i spend double the money and get the 580 ex2 instead and trade this in for a refund?
