Hello, I have a Panasonic Lumix FZ20, and recently bought an external flash for it to slide into its hotshoe for use at upcoming concerts that I will be photographing this summer. Im the official photographer for a band playing this Saturday night, and it is particularly important that I use this new flash at that show. But I just tested the flash out for the first time with my camera today and found something
with the flash plugged in to my camera, I cant adjust the shutter speed any lower than 1/60, and I also cant adjust the ISO. This is a problem, as I need some drag effect for these pictures
I usually set my shutter speed at around ¼, ½, or 1/1.6 at shows so I can get the drag effect with the lights and catch the movement, but now I cant set it lower than 1/60
and I know plenty of people who have external flashes and get the time exposure drag effect, so why cant I do it with my camera and flash? Is there any way to still use this external flash and be able to set the settings lower than 1/60? If so, how? Thanks,
-Alec
