The “pre-flash” method has a drawback though, it can a bit annoying for
anyone being photographed. Also, the pre-flash means that the main
exposure is slightly delayed. Not by much, but it could be enough for you
to miss a crucial timing.
Auto exposure mode
You can also use the auto mode on The FZ200 camera, in which case it
will read the aperture and ISO information directly from the camera.
TTL is usually preferable when using the FZ200 camera, since it usually
gives a more correct exposure. You may choose to use auto exposure
mode still to avoid the small TTL pre-flash.
The unit also offers full manual control. You achieve this by setting the
guide number (from 7 to 80) The unit will show you the maximum
distance the flash will cover, given your camera aperture value. You can
also vary the power by use of the flash power adjust by up to plus or
minus 0.7EV units.
It makes this unit a very versatile additional lighting source, especially if
you use an extension cord so you can get the flash unit “off-camera” for
better modelling.
