When you change the EV to +1, the distance gets shorter. If you are increasing the flash power, shouldn't the distance get longer, not shorter? The manual sort of talks about this, but does not explain it. =================================================================== When you change the EV to +1, you're not increasing the flash power, you're increasing the demand you're making on the flashgun. This has the effect of reducing the maximum flash to subject distance for the aperture and film speed you are using.
