SUGGESTED CAMERA AND FLASH SETTINGS
OUTDOORS - SHOOT WITH FLASH ON E-TTL MODE
SET CAMERA ON PROGRAM MODE
SET CAMERA ON LOWEST ISO SETTING (80-100)
Your camera can only offer a shutter speed of about 1/200 of a second with flash outdoors. On bright days, this will force your camera to select a small aperture (like f8) to compensate. The lower your ISO, the more you can open up the f stops.

Having a more wide-open fstop means your flash can generate less power to light up your subject. In other words, choosing a low ISO will basically make your backgrounds more dark, in relation to the flash.
Shooting closeup, you can use the LS2PJ at a 45 degree angle toward the subject. Shooting further away, you won't be able to hit your light with enough flash power to make a difference, so you'll have to point the LS2PJ toward your subject on most sunny days at distances greater than 10 ft.
