How should I synchronize my external flash with the camera?
Watching the external flash firing does not mean it fires in sync with your camera internal flash. If it is not synchronized with your camera, this will usually result in underexposed images despite the fact that the flash was triggered, as it is not triggered at the same time your camera shutter releases.
Fantasea slave flashes feature various pre-flash programs and are therefore capable of synchronizing with any compact digital camera. In order to properly synchronize the external flash with your camera internal flash, you should first determine which pre-flash program on the external flash is the most suitable with your camera internal flash. This is done by shooting several photographs in front of a mirror, while using the different pre-flash programs. The overexposed photograph is the suitable pre-flash program on the slave flash. Please perform this test with the various pre-flash settings featured on the external flash, starting from the highest value. Note that if there is more than one pre-flash setting triggering your external flash in response to the camera internal flash, the higher value should be chosen.
For further information, please refer to the instruction manual of the corresponding slave flash, which can be found online on the product page.
