Tips
Always start a shoot with fresh batteries and
carry spares.
Speedlights may have different recycle times.
You will be more satisfied using similar and
faster recycle times.
Speedlight types may have different color
temperatures. Many times the color
temperature variation and color gels can be
used to your creative advantage. For
consistency use the same type of speedlight in
all groups.
Metering type (Spot, Center-Weighted, or Multi-
Average) is more reactive when using flash. Spot
metering is especially useful when using Flash
Exposure Lock. Remember, the camera will try
to achieve middle-gray in the metered area.
When TTL operation is employed it can be used
as another auto exposure mode. For example, If
Exposure (M mode) and ISO are all manually set,
the photographic exposure will still be
controlled by the camera as it automatically
adjusts flash power.
Aperture or Program mode may show Flash
Exposure Compensation in the display preview
but not change exposure. This is due to shutter
speed limiting. To avoid this, use other modes
along with exposure meter and histogram.
