Originally posted by Lowell Goudge What I do is set in manual mode when I want control, and then make my settings watching the light meter to see how much I want to have natural light and how much I want the flash to contribute
I'm a total flash newb (have always shot natural light), but am trying to learn about off camera flash (I now have radio triggers for this).
Can you explain what you've written above, as I get wildly inconsistent results with my flash (Sigma EF-500 DG Super and K-7)?
Set the camera on Manual - this is how I regularly shoot - check!
How do you set the flash levels to contribute? Is this done manually as well (i.e. set at 1/4 power, etc.)?
Curious how you do this.
Any help would be appreciated.
