Dramatic Portraits with Off-Camera Flash using the Godox X-Pro II Trigger ep.488 

Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks! 👍

Thanks. Yes, I've lost some weight. Basically cut back on quantity.

You should!

Thank you!

Thanks. Yes, took experimented a lot with flashing into the lens. Every lens is different, so you just have to take a few to get it right. Generally, the flare will appear in the opposite direction.

Thanks!

To record movies in manual mode, you need to put the mode dial on Movie (camera icon). Then push the OK button to open the Live Control panel. Use the d-pad to navigate to the movie mode setting. Change it to "M". Now you can navigate to ISO and set that in the Live Control panel. You would also set your movie settings here -FHD 60p, FHD 30p, etc.... Shutter speed and aperture are set in regular live view mode using the dials just as you would in a photoo mode. Other than recording "Clips", you should not be running into recording limits below 29min 59sec. A couple of suggestions I found were to format the sd card in-camera and use class 10 or v30 rated sd cards.

I would say to learn to use the flash and camera together in full manual. Then understand the relationship between exposure settings, ambient light, and flash. Finally, practice indoor and outdoor to get a feel for the power output of your flash. Forget high speed sync, at least for now. Recently, I've been practicing and taking hundreds of shots every week.

@@RobTrek Thank you so much!

Hi. Goto the Cog Menu --> Page 3. Live View --> Night Vision --> ON

@@RobTrek Thanks Rob

Hi. You can't have a shutter speed slower than the movie fps. So if you're settings are FHD 60p, your slowest shutter speed will be 1/60. At FHD 30p, it would be 1/30 and at FHD 24p - 1/24. Your only option is to use a higher iso.

@@RobTrek thanks Rob, your the best. Better than reading it from an instructional book! Ron

Yes, that works.

You have to put the mode dial into Movie mode and change the movie mode in the menu to "M".

@@RobTrek Do I setup these in my manual settings and when turn the dial to the "M" mode this M is setup with these parameter? If I use the shutter button it starts to record up only for 10 minutes. So I setup the manual option and just press the red arrow to record a movie. And I can make longer videos like this. I found the movie mode ONLY makes short video recordings and there are no parameters to set the ISO, shutter speed and aperture. Why is that? Thanks. 🙏 Ron 😊

So Rob, to maker more clear to me. When I'm in movie mode. And set the settings in movie mode to "M" , it will use the manual settings for the movie? And when I'm in movie mode, do I press the shutter button or the red arrow button? Last couple of your videos, you told me that I can make all this settings in the manual mode. For an example: I do astrophotography and the moon or Jupiter is to bright on the screen. I can tone it down by reducing the shutter speed. In my case, my telescope is attached to the camera Olympus M5 Mark ll "T" adapter . No aperture settings. So I set the correct setting in the manual mode and then I press the Red movie button. If I press the shutter button, it makes a short video and I can't figure that out? Thanks! Ron 😊

Yes, 3.5mm TRS.

Ok thanks for the info! Ron
