Experience sharing of flash m mode

Lead: An important reason why many photographers are obsessed with the "magic lamp" is that the convenient TTL ability of modern flash makes it unnecessary to know much about the principle and skills when using flash, that is, the light can be supplemented to a roughly just right degree. Include i-TTL, e-TTL, etc. , are all scientific and technological products under this convenient fill light.

Experience sharing of flash M mode However, experienced photographers cannot rely on TTL mode of flash for a long time. On more occasions, we will need M mode to control output, light quantity, angle and so on. A steady and direct flash. Let's talk about the practicality and necessity of flash M mode first.

There are at least a few misjudgments in TTL mode of flash.

? When the scene is gray, it will be misjudged as needing a larger flash.

? For example, some Japanese classrooms that use black building materials are easy to misjudge at this time.

? When shooting at night, the flash will also tend to make the subject and scene brighter with greater strength when it encounters dark and dull scenes.

? When the jumper is used and the diffuser is pulled up.

? At this time, different brands of flashing lights will have different reactions. For example, Nikon's flash usually judges that it is jumping light, while Nissin's flash will use strong output.

? When backlighting, especially the need of calendering (strong fill light), flashlights usually don't know how to fill the main light with a larger output. At this time, it is also necessary to use M mode or compensate the output of the flash to increase the lighting of the flash.

Therefore, it is necessary to use flash M mode, and we can adjust the output according to the scene at that time.

As long as you are familiar with the M mode of flash, you can create more diverse and satisfactory shooting effects.

The best way to fill the light with flash is to fill the invisible light with flash, but don't notice that it is filled by flash, and don't leave shadow marks.

Such a scene is gray, TTL often misjudges, and M mode is king.

Of course, in M mode, the photographer is most worried about the dramatic change of scene light. For example, in uncertain weather, the sun comes out at once and the clouds cover the sun at once ... this is a very serious challenge. However, as long as the lighting conditions change, experienced photographers will definitely check them immediately and change the output of the flash immediately. When you are really not sure, switch to TTL mode and solve it with +/- EV.

When shooting the following images, the camera uses M mode, and the flash also uses M mode. Climate: The weather with uncertain weather is for your reference.

When the sun rises suddenly, the photographer should immediately notice the change of light and adjust the camera and flash.

Flash is also good for eyes.

For white clothes, it also has a smooth and high contrast effect.
