How do you use an electronic flash with a fully manual camera? - film camera diagram
I bought an old fully manual SLR camera recently that I wanted to photograph the return of the film. However, I am a little confused about the use of flashes - in a modern camera, trigger an electronic flash communicates with the camera, but this is only a trigger, the flash can only fire and nothing else.
What I know is, how can the exposure in the camera when a flash to him? Of course, the normal meter reading is not relevant if with flash, and although there is a diagram of the part that explains how you want to adjust the exposure, I find it confusing. Seems to indicate that you are using the opening in which the ISO sensitivity, regardless of the subject distance, however, said that using the shutter speed. What should I do?
One last thing ... The flash unit says that it automatically appears and a small light sensor on the front - can be disabled if you wish. What does this mean? I do not understand how you have an automatic flash unit for camerasThat do not communicate with him. What do mean by this sensor is and how it should carry the camera image exposure?

Manual Flash did not fire the whole time - I'm a professional
I will discuss some important points:
1) Keep the camera in the manual will provide more consistent results
2) Do you give your flash in manual mode, the consistency of results
3) with the flash exposure is determined by the aperture and shutter speed.
Call it our "base of exposure." ) Against this background exposure (without flash can be defined for a perfectly exposed image or under or over exposed image.
Uncovered, for 3 stops, we, and we will work indoors and not in direct sunlight. This makes it very easy to adjust the exposure 3 stops - or even 4 stops - bass.
Use the table on the back of the flash:
- Find your ISO (left column)
- Here you will find some distance (top row)
- Find the box that corresponds to the row / column - this gives an f-stop
4) Set the camera f-stop to the F-set match to stop.
5) Set the shutter speed the camera, so you still three stops underexposed. You can also experiment with changing the shutter speed to 1, 2 stops at stop, 3 stops more or less.
Why? Since it (the change of the shutter it because it's too fast for the flash, usually larger than 1 / 125 or 1 / 250) had no effect on flash exposure.
I am learning how to use the flash myself. Thus it can not be a big help, but I can be a place where you can ask that question and help to present more.
Go to dpreview.com and you will find the forum of the camera brand. Although dpreview is really a place for digital photography, people are very useful in the bodies of the rule to with questions about photography film.
Simply explain your problem and you are new to the forum. Often there are multiple forums for each brand, so try to find the right one. For example, if you have a Nikon, not in the Nikon forum to focus, because it is probably the biggest part of the P & S, and there are users who do not help the situation. So try the right choice. If the wrong forum, this would probably tell you better.
