Thank you Mark, I’ve never shot with a flash and find it all a bit daunting so that’s really helpful

That's a big help. Thanks for the clear explanations.

Fantastic! Thank you! Clear and straight forward. Can’t wait to use my Nikon Speedlight now that I know how to use it.

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation.

Fantastic tutorial, many thanks

You are a legend, thank you for this

Awesome video ❤ Brilliant content ❤ Superb commentary ❤

Recently purchase 2 x 600 EX - RT Canon speedlites, few unsuccessful attempts to get them linked - watched your informative video - cleared previous data & YES they worked together - Thank you

Manual exposure mode on camera and a set colour balance is Marks preferred setup

Absolutely fantastic and thankyou very much for taking the worry away about the basics as well as feeling confident that I'm not going to break it. I've just ordered a Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT Flash (arriving Friday) which I'm going to use first of all for macro. Do you have a video now explaining about setting speedlight settings up with a camera for macro. Kind regards and many thanks. UPDATE - It's ok thankyou, I've just found your Alladins cave of excellent videos that follow this one, brilliant!!!!!

Canon or a canon 3rd party flash like yongnuo!

I’m thinking how do I hold a camera with one hand and a light in the other lol , I can’t imagine I have strength for that ? I’m just getting into photography so please excuse my ignorance. Also I’m struggling to get sharp photographs with my hand holding the camera unless I’m using a tripod , so I’m wondering how to get a sharp pictures if I’m just holding the camera . Any advice would be helpful thank you.

Practice practice of course, try using a faster shutter speed the help get sharper images and if possible a lens with some kind of anti shake

But what Mode do you set the camera too for flash pics?

I am almost always in manual model on camera

I find NO consensus on whether the camera should be in M mode when using TTL or an Auto mode. I have had nothing but bizarre unworkable results with my flashgun in TTL when experimenting in an Auto mode and wonder if M is the best bet, setting the exposure values based on how I want to light the background, then letting TTL illuminate the subject correctly based on flash power settings (steps up or down). Another item of confusion - my flashgun has flash power settings, but so does my camera. Which do I use? Does one override the other? Thanks!

Hi Scott, most of the time my camera is in Manual mode & if the flash is on the camera hotshoe the flash is set to ttl. When the flash is off camera hot shoe and being used through a softbox the flash is set in manual mode. But if it has grids on it the flash might either be set on ttl if it’s moving its distance to subject or in manual if it’s in a fixed position. I hope that helps

A rookie question: the camera mounted speedlite is SWITCHED 'OFF'. Why can't I use AEB to shoot 3 exposures (like I do without the mounted speedlite)? What setting do I need to change? {Canon 70D and Yongnuo 600EX ii}

Unless new camera models are different you can’t use AEB. Most speedlite flashes will allow for FEB - Flash Exposure Bracketing. This is based around you knowing your correct exposure and want to vary the amount of flash output. Hope that helps

@@ThePhotographerAcademy thanks for your quick response. The Nikon's AEB works, why not Canon's? I just want to be able to take 3 automatic ambient and 1 flash for flambient real estate photography.
