The folks above are correct - to avoid backscatter you need to have the strobe angled towards the subject and not straight on as with the MX5/10.
There are a couple of tricks though:
Get close
Take photos in good vis
Get shallower and turn strobe off - use natural light
Get a buddy to shine a torch on the subject from an angle and switch off the strobe
Finally - if you have photo software on your PC you can simply wipe out the backscatter using clone tools - you will be suprised on how many of the so-called experts touch up photos on the PC !!!!!
Hope this helps - the ideal answer is to get a strobe that is demountable, or if fixed, points at the subject from an angle
Best of luck
