14.4 Manual shooting made easy
Nothing can beat the combination
of a flash meter and a flash set
manually. Automatic and TTL are
a compromise based on the need
for speed. Setting the flash for a
manual power setting and taking an
incident meter reading takes time
and resources the average
photographer may not have. So we
use automatic flash exposure and
know that in some situations the
sensor may be fooled.
The Trio allows for easy manual shooting without metering. Above is an
example of how this is accomplished.
In this example Qflash will produce an F8.0 at the subject (8 ft), and it will
be quickly accomplished without metering.
The F number and Film speed will come from your camera, adjust the
power setting until the Qflash distance shown matches the subject
distance as closely as possible.
