Hello,
I have an M9 and a SF58 flash. I admit to being pretty thick at following technical instructions / manuals.
I have looked at flash threads on this site and gleaned some information, but am still unable to join the dots.
I'm looking for some BASIC advice and tips to get started... Do's and don'ts, which mode to use (TTL, Automatic, or Manual), how to set the camera and flash for that mode. I assume that TTL is the best mode for the novice to try... Could be wrong.
================
Like many others I am put off by the SF58's heft... It is somewhat of a beast.
I have read Sean Reid's articles on flash in general and the SF58 in particular. I am intrigued by his suggestion to use the flash off camera and use the Nikon SC-28 coiled cable. Would that I could make the wrist strap that Sean created to dangle the flash.
Also, I wonder if Sean supports the camera hand with the flash hand in order to avoid shudder.
