Flashguns are a very worthwhile addition to your equipment. Depending
on your budget here are some of the things to take into consideration
when buying.
26. The addition of an electronic flashgun can be dramatic. Once
you become serious about photography, even an average flashgun will
provide far better results than a camera's built in flash. Built
in flash soon becomes ineffective over long distances and for large
subjects.
27. Look for a "dedicated" flash gun. These take information
directly from the camera and ensure the correct level of flash is
delivered.
28. Autozoom flashguns work in conjunction with a zoom lens and
ensure correct flash with the level of zoom that you are using.
29. A moveable head to the unit allows the flash to be bounced
off a wall or ceiling.
30. Look for a unit that allows a controlled, reduced level of
flash to be delivered.
