Both the camera and flash are to be set in 'second curtain syn' mode.<BR/><BR/>The flash setting has nothing to do with the shutter speed.<BR/><BR/>I am assuming you are using TV mode , at F/11-16 and under marginal ambient light you are likely to be at a fairly low shutter speed.<BR/><BR/>You might have to come to a compromise in DOF and shutter speed by either opening up your aperture or selecting a higher ISO setting, in order to get higher shutter speed.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02104593191691311570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432400397162178532.post-73657799303655933122007-12-31T21:59:00.000+08:002007-12-31T21:59:00.000+08:00Hi, thanks for the detailed tutorial.

What I gather is that I'd have to set the flash at the 'second curtain sync' mode with the camera in 'second curtain sync' (under custom functions) – is this correct? I am using the 100mm macro and find that at f11-16 i need to slow down to 1/25-1/40 to get decent results and was wondering if the flash setting has anything to do with it.budakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693717163007410639noreply@blogger.com
