Originally posted by jadeddo it seems that if the conditions are bright I'm going to need to have the flash set to high speed sync, set my camera to manual exposure to make the background what I want, have my flash on TTL, and manually adjust the exposure compensation of the flash to get the results I'm looking for on the subject.
Does that sound about right?
Sounds correct. Dont forget that HSS reduces your flash to subject distance.
Originally posted by jadeddo There are flash control settings on the K3, and also on the flash itself.
the sync settings will only apply to the pop up flash i think.
Have a look at the sticky posts in the flash section of this forum. You will see some flash guides from forum member Nigel McGregor. hove a good read of thoose to understand all about the operation of flash.
