You can determine the approxi-
mate distance to your subject by
looking at the lens after it has
been focused on the subject.
Most lenses have a distance
scale on them or you can use a
tape measure.
4. After you determine the expo-
sure, set the flash exposure at
1/3 to 2/3 of a stop under the
proper exposure. The actual
amount of underexposure needed
depends on the brightness of the
sun and the darkness of the
shadows.
5. Take the picture and preview it
on the LCD. This helps you to
decide if you need more or less
flash exposure to fill in the shad-
ows. Change the exposure com-
pensation and take another
photograph if you aren’t satisfied.
Be sure the flash head zoom is
set to the proper focal length for
the lens in use.
