Coolpix 5000 speedlight compensation

[ReelBruin 0]

Hi-

 

Another question - I read that it's recommended to set the speedlight output compensation to -2 on a Coolpix 5000 because of the location (physical) of the TTL sensor on the camera when doing Macro.

 

Does this hold for wide-angle or standard shooting?

 

Thanks!

Set it max compensation and your synch speed to about 1/500th. But do yourself a favor and get the manual strobe controller so you don't have to waste your time.

Where/how do you set the synch speed? Do you mean shutter speed? And by max compensation, I assume you mean max negative compensation...

 

Thanks a bunch. I'm a long time Nikonos shooter, new digital shooter.

In the menu there is a setting for speedlite compensation. Set it to - compensation. Yes I ment shutter speed.
