Yes, if it's possible.

Usually, but not if I can do the job better with bounce alone.

400 for most flash stuff.


1600 for low light. (Sometimes underexposed to the equivalent of ISO 25600.)

Daniel,


i guess i got the ISO speed right, for i too shoot at 400 when using flash.


Could you please tell me.... when you go manual with your with-flash shots - at what power output do you set your flash to?? I know this varies depending on the model of the flash, i just want to get a general idea. Or by "manual" you mean setting th camer speed and opening manually and leave the flash in TTL mode?


Also can you give me somewhat of a guideline on how to compensate or measure the effective range of the flash when it is bounced? and when it has a diffuser on? and when it has a diffuser and bounced [like when you use a gary fong basically flash is always pointed upwards with the diffuser on.]?
