Notes on Force flash: From
PhyrePhoX
, for strobists - an option to manually override flash (for all
cameras), even for (
IXUS / SD
cams, no need for a script anymore. Important: when enabled, this will
not only override flash power, but also enable the CHECK if flash is needed, in other words your camera
will use flash even in bright sunlight and even if you disabled the flash, of course the flash will not fire on
cameras with popup flashes when the flash is not popped up. There are three values for the flash to be set
- low, middle and POWERFUL, be careful, don’t flash at home kids…. This feature more or less created
- by
ewavr
, and code from
PhyrePhoX -
thanks.
For cameras with dedicated movie buttons, there is an extra menu item -
Force flash only in moviemode,
when this is checked, the
Force flash
feature
will be enabled for taking photos when recording a video.
Note: There is another advantage by using force flash -
On cameras with adjustable flash intensity
there
will not be a pre-flash
when the intensity is set manually
, which will help greatly when using slave
flashes.
