Hi again,
Well, I promised I would keep you guys posted about the results from Karol's
swimming event where the 4Ti's batteries had died and I used the flash
manually (using GN 32 distance-aperture calculations), with the camera set
to "mechanical (i.e. "red") 1/60th".
Sooooooo, did it work or didn't it?
Well, I'm glad to inform you all that it did! :)))
The pictures all came out, without failures, and the colours seem to be just
fine! The only tiny nasty thing I noticed in one of the pictures was that
Karol's eyes were rather diabolicalish looking. Indeed, they were beyond red
and had turned to a brightish white-yellow! However, I have noticed the same
effect when using the camera and flash on Auto (when shooting from some
10-20 metres), so I don't think that the flash overexposed here, but rather
that she is one of those people (I'm another one of those) who often has
very wide pupils, causing a lot of red eye effect (it's almost always worse
on her than on other people standing right next to her). As an interesting
aside: botk Karol and I have about the same eye-defect (I have on the left
side -1.25 and on the right -0.75, and she has something like (resp.) -1.50
and -1.00), and ever since I started wearing glasses (something which she
doesn't do yet), the red eye effect on me seems to have diminished...
Anyway, the flash synced well, the colours look good, all shots were "family
album keepers", so I'm a happy camper, and I'm glad I remembered (thanks
Hans!) how to do all this stuff manually! :)
Cheers,
Olafo
