Flash is an accessory after buying the camera that we are most concerned about, although many cameras have a built-in flash, but some friends to buy flash initial purpose was "loaded on an external flash looks more professional," and "how to choose a suitable flash "and" how to make good use of more good flash "is more friends likely to need to understand knowledge, that today I'll give you some advice on the flash purchase and use.
Why buy external flash?
Certainly not a reason to buy flash beginning to say "look more professional", if you often shoot night scenes and indoor photos will be fully understood, if not flash fill light, photos in most cases will shake, and turn the flash let people face very bright. We think there is no longer such a case, when the subject is far from us, even opened the built-in flash Flash mode, but also illuminate the road just in front of the body and did not illuminate the mian subject.
The above illustrates the importance of an external flash, in the room can not only achieve the purpose of full light, but also can make the light more gentle sprinkled on the subject or object; while outside, external flash effect more often can make bright further targets, no longer cause awkward to shoot only two of the characters eyes in photos.
Have said the use of flash, let us have a look of each manufacturer which has several flash can choose, Canon currently has 270EX II, 320EX, 430EX II and 600EX four products, and Nikon also has SB-400, SB-700 and SB-910 three different flash index flash, and some vice factory flash can give us more options. Many friends are not very clear flash model significance, in fact, this figure represents the flash flash index, say simply is in the same ISO and same aperture, the higher flash index, the more farther shooting distance.
That will certainly a friend will ask, Canon figure is small than Nikon, if Nikon flash will shot more farther? In fact, Canon and Nikon flash index are calculated at two different focal length, but actually SB- 910 and 600EX index is basically same, and SB-700 and 430EX II flash index is also same. Since the performance is almost the same, but which one is more suitable for me?
