External Flash Worksheet

1.) When would you use external flash?

You would use an external flash when you’re in low light or if you don’t have a good source of natural light.

2.) Do you need to meter the light if you use flash?

No because it would make the picture way to bright due to the flash coming when you take the shot.

3.) What does flash synchronization mean?

Flash synchronization is when the firing of the flash and the opening of the shutter happen at the exact same time.

4.) What does ETTL mean?

ETTL stands for Evaluative Through The Lens, meaning the system uses a preflash to improve the exposure.

5.) What will happen when you shoot faster than the camera sync speed?

If you shoot faster than the camera sync speed half of your photo will be black due to the flash lag.

6.) Why do photographers bounce the flash and use a diffuser?

Photographers bounce the flash with a diffuser to soften the light.

7.) What is a slave?

A slave is a separate light used in a different spot you’re shooting. For example, if you want a little bit of a rim light as well as your subjects face lit up, you’d place a slave behind your model.

8.) What should you so if you image comes out too dark or too light?

If your image comes out too light or too dark you should modify the aperture.

9.) How do you remove and put on the flash on the camera?

To remove the flash on the camera, you need to unlock the track and slid it off.
