If both flashlights are controlled by the camera's TTL, I assume there's
no correction to be done? The camera will shut off the flash(es) as soon
as it thinks there's enough light, be it a dozen flashlights firing...
On the other hand, if you would have e.g. one flashlight on TTL-mode and
For wedding work, the general technique is called dragging the shutter
- basically you try to let there be as much ambient light as possible
to reduce the dark backgrounds. So shooting at around 400 ISO and
then shooting at about 1/15-1/60 at around f/5.6 with TTL flash gives
a much more natural
I see no reason why not.
Long time ago (my MX days) I simply used two flahses for this.
Today I sometime use a Metz hammer head flash with two tubes.
Or I can use a flash that splits the beam in two.
An Osram Flash (splits the light) or a Braun Vario Zoom 370, which has a
mirror-like refector

Will the *ist-D trigger the infrared beam from an external flash?
As long as it is connected with suitable cable, yes.

Hi Rick
And with that setup did you just let both Flash at TTL setting and no
further corrections for indoor shots?
Frankly I haver never used the build in flash on the SFXn alone or in
combination so far, would be interesting.
I guess there has to be a minimal distance of about 1.5 meters to get
That's right. Works brilliantly on the PZ-1p; don't
know about the SFXn. Nice even lighting, no shadows,
and much more natural-looking than bounce flash alone,
IMHO.

Lucas,
Thanks, but I don't think so. The adapter Fg has a 5p
socket on top rather than a flash shoe.

Rick,
You're right. I thought Fg was an evolution of F, but it obviously isn't.

Does that method use the flash's contrast control mode?
