The ambient exposure is controlled by iso, aperture, and shutter speed. But exposure isn't as simple as the exposure triangle any more, because you're basically combining two exposures: one from the ambient light, and one from the flash burst. TTL can put the flash into the scene for the metering system. The camera's meter can only measure the light that's in the scene. You can't just get the meter needle to "0" any more. Off-camera lighting generally means packing a lighting bag to go with the camera bag.įlash exposure is really different from ambient-only exposure. You can shove a speedlight into a camera bag. In addition, even after you learn all the off-camera studio-style lighting, a speedlight is great for event/social shooting and chasing kids/pets around the house (where hauling a light on a stand with an umbrella behind you isn't practical) and traveling light. And a speedlight gives you the freedom to learn whether or not you need TTL/HSS, and whether or not you need battery power. It's much much easier to wrap your head around flash exposure and basic principles if all you have to buy and learn is just a speedlight.
#Godocs 200 how to
It's feature/UI identical, but uses AA batteries instead of a li-on pack (the pack has 3x the capacity of a set of 4xAAs).Ī speedlight can help be your lighting training wheels because it can be used on-camera with all the bells and whistles, and you can start learning how to light with on-camera bounce flash. If you're worried it's more of a temporary purchase than a permanent one, consider spending less and going for a TT685 ($110) instead of a V860II. Just me? If you have zero experience with flash at all? Get a speedlight. I just want something that is good enough for me to start but still pretty future proof down the road. Knowing how much power/spread you need can depend a lot on how big the subject is that you're working with and how far away the lights have to be. Then again, it might not, since both the AD200 and V860II can go to much lower power levels, which might work better for macro work, where the lights might be in close. Something like a $110 MS300 might make more sense. Then you may not need the battery-power of either. I don’t think I plan to do flash outdoor so portability is not a really huge factor for me. I plan to setup a small home studio and do mostly food and portrait photography. And whether the AD200 is better bang for the buck depends on how you plan to use the light.
#Godocs 200 pro
AFAIK, a V860II is $180 an AD200 Pro is $350, so basically a V860II is half the price. With $100 more, AD200 Pro seems to offer more bang for the bucks. I am debating between the V860II and AD200 Pro. I am planning to get into flash photography with my Fujifilm X-T4.
