I usually shoot natural light but have recently purchased the SF40 to help with outdoor situations photographing pups that require some additional exposure. Having never used speed lights, I would love some visual operation instructions if anyone knows of a how-to video for the SF40 being used with the Leica Q. Or perhaps a really good cheat sheet exists?
Also, I would like to find a lightweight bracket to hold the flash off camera and would love some suggestions. One that is adjustable would be preferred. Would love to hear what other folks are using.
How do you operate the SF40 remotely? ie on a stand or tripod? Is a cable connecting to the camera required, if so which ones are recommended?
Lastly, in terms of basic use, how do I start? If I tend to photograph a pup with an aperture of 2.8 and want to expose for the background and flash for the foreground, what's the secret? Sorry if this is a super green question but I am super green when it comes to speed lights.
