Basically, it sends out a pre-flash to gauge how much light is needed and that saves us the trouble of changing from say 1/2 to 1/4 or 1/8 when changing the magnification. <br /><br />http://orionmystery.blogspot.com/2010/08/flash-sensitive-macro-subjects.htmlKurt (OrionMystery)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00919450325284468227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304985161736802293.post-19209123015535004682010-09-13T12:49:08.974+08:002010-09-13T12:49:08.974+08:00I suppose the flash adjusts based on aperature als...I suppose the flash adjusts based on aperature also? For example, I might want to shoot a subject face-on at f/10 for a shallow depth of field to emphasize just the face or a profile at f/16 to capture as many details as possible. Does E-TTL adjust the amount of light needed? If so, this gives me greater control to choose my aperature (rather than finding the right aperature for flash on Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304985161736802293.post-77891602587884789592010-09-11T17:41:26.131+08:002010-09-11T17:41:26.131+08:00Thanks for the comments, Ted S and Ted C :)
Ted C...Thanks for the comments, Ted S and Ted C :)<br /><br />Ted C, yes, do give this a try. Much easier to control the FEC then guessing the manual flash power required at different magnification.Kurt (OrionMystery)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00919450325284468227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304985161736802293.post-11780774801765506232010-09-11T13:14:37.698+08:002010-09-11T13:14:37.698+08:00Great tutorial - I'll admit I haven't spen...Great tutorial - I'll admit I haven't spent the time to try to figure out ETTL and FEC, mostly just sticking with manual flash.
