Slave flash for point&shoot cameras. Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital () I am looking for a slave flash unit for use with my point and shoot cameras. I have found two flashes that look interesting: the Sony HVLFSL1B and the Canon HF-DC1. I have...

metering. > Jim Yes, but you can use off-camera flash both with DSLRs and many ZLR cameras (high-end point and shoot if you like), so the comaparison isn't valid. I am unsure about your point on metering - I think it takes little processing power...

Good photos under poor/low light conditions like this are tough to get with a P&S (point and shoot) camera of this type. Even with an SLR and fast lenses it can be challenging. The flash range of a P&S is very short. I have a reasonably powerfull external...

they can evidently be set up on a mini tripod and be triggered by the camera's flash. My understanding is that these are pretty much compatible with any point and shoot digital camera. I'm quite interested in whether the little extra "boost" will make...

colours if you try to fill flash with the work lights. I guess it's too late now but simple flash mounted "soft box" with a slave flash behind the subject would do much better. -- Douglas, Zero care factor for negative responses from anonymous...

some one went from sun to shade? The correct Kelvin level for flash is usually the same for noon daylight film ex. 5500K Did you ever shoot film? Did you change film when you used a flash? Or did you change film if you went took a shot in the...

flash (yes, there is an 'anti-redeye' setting) but a background drowned in dark. Additionally the flash will drain the limited battery that much faster. You can slave flashes that use the flashes' light to sync, but that will not work when other photographers...
