Au t omati c flash units

The flash units in this family don’t have TTL flash mode; instead, they have the so-called automatic flash mode, in addition to manual flash mode. Numerous photographers still make use of this simple but extremely effective form of flash measurement. With automatic flash mode, it isn’t the camera that controls the flash, but instead, the photocell integrated in the flash measures the light reflected from the object. It is a really nice thing!

Fill-in flash

Backlighting makes interesting light effects possible, if you know how to use it correctly. A flash should be used in any case. With the flash output reduced by 1 or 2 f-stops, it is possible to retain the character of the existing light. The higher the guide number, the greater the range of the flash unit. However, when compa- ring, it is important to make sure that the same focal length and the same ISO specification are used.
