![]() I have no experience in using a sync cord with the LX5 the camera does not have a terminal for a cord. I have heard that others have used them, but I have no experience in that area. I have never used an add-on telephoto lens, other than the telescope. I don’t know what could cause your problem with the flash firing in Slow Sync mode. ![]() That is, you can use Slow Sync at the same time as either 1st or 2nd Curtain, so the flash will fire at the beginning or end of the exposure depending on which of those settings you’re using. I’ll tell you my opinions, and I’ve also referred your questions to a photographer who is more expert on flash topics, and I’ll let you know through another comment here if I get more information from him.Īs for Slow Sync and 1st or 2nd Curtain, you can use both settings together. Hello, YY - I’ll give you a few answers, but I can’t claim to be an expert on all aspects of flash and these other topics. I’d highly recommend your book to every one who wants to make the best use of his/her LX5. How can I determine which sync chord is compatible? Could you recommend a model? I’ve heard Olympus sync chords work for Panasonic flash as well, but I just don’t know for sure which one to buy.ī.ĝo you think I can use the Metz 58 AF-2 on a sync chord as a master to trigger a slave? If so, is there any way I can set up the slave flash with TTL metering?Ĭ.Ĝan I use the built-in flash as a master to trigger a slave?ĭ.Ĝould you describe the steps you go through to determine the right exposure and to manually adjust a flash (pg. Is this the only way to maintain TTL metering with an off-camera flash? I couldn’t figure out why.Ĭould you recommend a reliable, compatible model for LX5, if I prefer not to use a telescope as suggested in your book? I sometimes have trouble firing the built-in flash when it’s set at ‘slow sync’, but with ‘2nd curtain sync’ it is a sure hit. I understand the technicalities of ‘front (1st) ‘ and ‘rear (2nd) ‘ curtain sync, but what’s the difference between ‘2nd curtain sync’ and ‘slow sync’? Do they all fire at the end of exposure?ī. ![]() I’m hoping that with your expertise, I can solve these puzzles.Ī. I have a few questions related to LX5 in the following areas, which I’m not able to find direct answers through my research. I’m looking forward to experimenting with these tools and bringing new effects to my photos. I’ve just received the Raynox macro lens today and other accessories (the LA6, LWA, LND and LPD) are on their way. Yesterday marked another milestone in my journey of learning: I mastered the MF function and started taking sharp, close-up pictures and accomplished the effects I desired. I must tell you, I’m no longer clueless and I’m very confident in using all the features I’ve tried. In the past month, I’ve frequently referred to your book for instruction since I started exploring my new camera. I’ve found your book tremendously helpful for photography newbies like me who are learning to master a sophisticated compact camera. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to get the most out of the fantastic S95 camera. I am looking forward to learning all about the menus and setting up the shortcuts to my favorite menus. ![]() I already purchased and have been using the eye-fi card from reading a preview of the book. That in itself justified for me getting this book. I did not understand all the differences in SD cards – see pp 19-24. By perusing the book, in just 24 hours I have learned so much. And the layout and photos are very pleasing, which is important to me. I keep the pdf of Canon’s manual on my computer for searching fast. For me it is worth the extra money to have the actual book. White’s book serves as a proper tutorial which I can read at my leisure and also bring along with the camera if I want. The printout of Canon’s pdf, hole-punched, in a binder on my computer books shelf does not suffice. My book just arrived yesterday via B&N special order. ![]()
