newfish 0 Posted September 11, 2006 thanks for the info. Regarding manual flash control, I can handle changes in ISO and aperture but not distance. How do you guys do it by the way ? increasing the flash output by one stop for every 1.4 times increase in distance ..... just can't handle the arithmetic especially under water.

craig nelson 4 Posted September 11, 2006 quite simple, i run up a table of distances using this standard STSD = GN/F-stop and test that, then simply just get used to the strobe. more often than not, the golden F8 1/60 with 1/2 power on the strobes 100iso works most of the time for subjects around 3-4ft away. The z-240 has lots of control steps, i generally run a few "clicks" at a time. you will with time learn you strobe until its settings just become instinct regards craig thanks for the info.
