normally i set depends on surroundings..
Night - slow sync (slow shutter - capturing subject and background) Daylight - HSS (faster shutter - need subject with defocused background) Indoor - (mostly bounce to wall/ceiling - to eliminate shadow)
need to play around, atleast i isolated them that way easy to figure it out.. otherwise so much variables to produce the pic..
becoz for bouncing the flash need to play with angle, color toning, flash level etc..
hope anyone can help me more utilize/optimize my flash unit also.. still noob ler..

QUOTE(cplow1 @ Oct 7 2010, 10:57 AM) can I use slow sync to light up both background and object during indoor shooting? can.. but u will be surprise when play with bouncing (fill flash)... no wonder everybody recommending buying the flash @ the first place..

QUOTE(cplow1 @ Oct 7 2010, 11:21 AM) Normally when u bounce, u point ur flash 90degree up to the ceiling or 45degree? i saw there's a panel on the flash, wat is it for? move the flash head wherever suitable.. i think sometimes.. straight above.. just 'bengkok' abit.. haha.. u meant the wide diffuser panel? if u notice.. the flash will change the ZOOM to wide when u pull it out.. it's suppose to spread the light..

QUOTE(ieR @ Oct 7 2010, 12:52 PM) seriously, that link is more misleading then it teaches... bounce flash is depending on the distant u and subject... but the link uses a static subject at the same distant, it will mislead people thinking 90degree is best light. summore its missing bounce card for front fill  yup normally i'm using 75 degree.. or move the flash head to side/back..
