Thanks very much for your complete explanation. I just need to know how to
adjust the output of the T 32?
You said below in your example:
Us GN method to set the flash output, e.g. if the aperture is F8 and
distance is 2m
> then set the T32 to 1/4 output (GN16), you will get nice result.
Does this mean then you are not using the TTL mode, that you are using
manual flash mode?

Titoy
