7. Fill-in flash in daylight

The two established values for aperture and shutter

speed can be adjusted on the camera because the

camera’s shutter speed is slower than the camera’s

flash synch speed.

To maintain a balanced range of highlights, for

instance in order to retain the character of the

shadows, it is advisable to select the automatic

aperture on the flashgun one setting lower than the

aperture adjusted on the camera. In the above

example the camera was adjusted to f/8. Consequent-

ly, we advise you to adjust f/5.6 as the aperture setting

on the flashgun.

Tip:

Proceed in the following manner if an automatic

aperture setting of f/5.6 cannot be used on the

flashgun due to the adjusted film speed:

Select the auto aperture f/8 on the mecablitz, and set

a shutter speed of 1/30th sec. on the camera at f/11

camera aperture.

If, in this example, the auto aperture f/4 were to be

adjusted on the mecablitz, then this would result in a

shutter speed of 1/125 sec. at the camera aperture

f/5.6. This would then fall short of the camera’s

synchronisation speed of 1/100th sec.

When shooting into the light, ensure that the

backlight does not shine directly onto the

sensor as this will confuse the flashgun’s

electronics.
