|
Question 12
|
You’re shooting with off camera flash set to manual full power. Your Manual camera setting reads f/8, 1/200th sec, 100 ISO. To save power you drop your flash to 1/16th power. The exposure would now be correct at
|
f/8, 1/50th sec, 100 ISO
|
|
|
f/8, 1/200thsec, 1600 ISO
|
|
|
f/4, 1/200thsec, 100 ISO

|
Anything you like, the flash will work it out.
|
Question 12 Explanation:
Full power to 1/16th power is 4 stops less light. 100 – 1600 ISO makes the camera four times more sensitive to light… Yes you could alter the aperture but that wasn’t on the list 😉

Thank you so much. I’m learning alot from watching your videos. I did photography many years ago using film. Now I’m starting over using digital and you’ve become my teacher. Keep up the great work. I love the red Riding Hood shoot.
Sorry. That last comment I spelled my own name wrong. This self type thing works when it wants to. It’s David Barrow. 🙂
