Studio ZLR

Makes no sense, unless you mean it kicks up into a high ISO, therefore
high noise, mode.

Examples?

Coincidentally I also have the Oly C8080, great camera in 95% of areas,
pity about stupid software/menu design, but I still love it. Works
fine with studio lighting, as did my older Sony F717, and the F828 is
great for studio work too.

I also use floods...

Sounds like the Z1 is used at a high ISO.

I really like my C8080, yes, the software could be better, but that dosen't
bother me much. My only real complaint is the autofocus speed, I guess I'm
just spoiled by my Nikon N80.

I've seen great studio shots from the A1.

How are you lighting?

How are you metering?

Quick start: set your 5600HS to manual increments of power, (1/2, 1/4,
1/8 ...) and set it on the little feet that it comes with. Mount the
flash on a stand and set it a set distance from the subject. Fire it
wireless from the camera. Adjust flash power until higlights are not
blown out. (I suggest you begin with the flash about 5 to 10 feet away
from the subject; aperture of about f/5.6 for ISO 100 at 1/2 power on
the 5600HS. Work from there with aperture and/or flash power level).

Same with hot lights, but control the shutter speed instead. Use a
tripod and perhaps ISO 400 to begin.

It's all much easier with a hand held meter...

Cheers,
Alan
