Synchronization with slow shutter speeds

If you are using the 88·16 at a high shutter speed under dim light, the background may come out too dark. To

avoid this, use a slower shutter speed . The procedure for synchronization with slow shutter speeds is the same as that described before; however, you should mount the camera on a tripod to avoid camera shake at speeds of 1/30sec . and below. Also, it is recommended that you make the background somewhat underexposed .

Note: When using color film , especially transpa rency film, unnatural color casts may occur when the ratio of flash illumination to ambientlightis low.
