Wow, this month sure a lot of wedding coz good month!
I would likt to take this chance to seek some advice from those experienced photographer regarding the usage of Flash during indoor wedding dinner shooting.

I got a F42 flash gun but not 100% utilise it because i always set everything to auto. Anyone here can share some settings? how to set it to TTL? as well as some tips and advise when shooting in such event.

Normally when i shoot, i get a very bright foreground where the face of the people are very harsh n bright and the background appear to be dark.

hope can get some advise here =)

thanks~!

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..

can I use slow sync to light up both background and object during indoor shooting?

Thanks Master Albnok, there's no much to learn about flash, really need to copy down all this useful information.

"cplow1: The wide diffuser panel is used when pointing the flash forwards and using an ultra-wide angle lens."

Wouldn't it be very harsh if u point the flash forward?
