Flashguns

 

 

 

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.
