- Slave = when there is another master flash

Guide Number = 58 at ISO 100 flash head zoomed to 105mm focal length

Flash Head Zoom
This control allows the flash tube and reflector to move forwards and backwards in the mount allowing a narrower but higher intensity flash for a given subject distance when set at 105mm than when set at 24mm where for the same subject distance it will be broader but less intense.


Exercise:

1. Group Photo of 6 or more people.




2. Take a photo in a room and bounce the flash of the roof/wall/front on.

Bounce off Roof
Bounced of side wall

Front on


Shutter controls ambient light
Aperture controls flash
