Hello all, Just unpacked my new toy; AF-360 FGZ flash from Adorama. So far my impressions are favorable; its compact, well-build and has neat features. I will be using it on the 4th to photograph my grandfather's 75th Birthday party.
I will be using it with my ZX-5N, I can't afford MZ-S yet. Anyway, I want to use bounce flash with the built-in catchlight card of the FGZ. The manual specifies that the flash head should be set to 90 degree angle. I think that this will only give a "sparkle in the eye effect", so I will be setting the head to 45 degrees with the catchlight panel. I will be using Fuji NPH 400, the party will be indoors, and 28-70 F4 since I don't think the 50mm or 100mm Macro will do. Can anyone offer tips and suggestions for this setup? Mainly: 1. Bounce flash angle. 2. Some people prefer NPH set to ISO 320 rather than 400, I did not have a chance to test this. 3. Using FA 50mm for portraits.
