@L'Univers de Pi Mine works fine on my Panasonic G9 I set mine to TTL and Auto zoom and remember it only works till 105mm. So if you have a bigger lens then it won't move. Lastly if you pull out the on board diffuser the flash will not move. That's all I got very much a newbie to the whole flash thing.
@ImageMaven
@ImageMaven 4 года назад
I haven't had that problem with this flash, but I did hear from other people that there were some incpompatibilies with that model of flash and the G9. You can try using the manual zoom. I often use wide angle lenses that are wider than the flash is meant for. But with fill flash outdoors, it's hard to tell.

Trying to make the camera do what I want can be trying. Watching your videos make me believe I am in control. Sometimes I’m not not sure. The G9 is a super hybrid body. Sometimes I think it is smarter than me. I’m afraid the body b Does too. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret).

I am glad to see you have returned. This was another informative video, thanks! I don't use flash but I keep thinking I should learn it. This was helpful. By the way, in the past you explained iDynamic and other such Lumix mysteries. One day could you explain Digital Zoom for stills? I never use this as I believe I will get a poor quality image. However, I wonder if it is as bad? If I am out with a prime lens and want to zoom, maybe digital zoom would be an option? I should test it I suppose, but I was thinking it could be a good subject for your videos - just an idea :-). All the best with the channel, I am looking forward to your next video.

It's hard for me to answer as I don't have the exact same configuration as you. Just make sure that the hotshoe connections are clean and that the flash is seated snugly in there. I did notice that this flash has a very tight fit on my own hotshoe and if it wasn't seated properly it didn't connect.

Great video, Marlene. Since you mentioned both Luminar 4 and Lightroom in the video, I'm wondering which you like best. Could you share some thoughts regarding pros and cons of both systems? I want to move beyond Apple's Photos soon, which is fine but limited, so looking for expert advice from folks like you.
@ImageMaven
@ImageMaven 4 года назад
Hi Smalltown Bloom, LR and Luminar are both great pieces of software and I use them both a lot, but I use LR more. LR is a subscription-based and Luminar in a one-off price (but having said that there are yearly upgrades that you can buy). Luminar has a lot of Ai technology and I LOVE that aspect of it. One slider can fix a photo in mere seconds. I love the "looks" they have and the interface is logical and simple to use. Very little experience is needed to use Luminar. I have been using LR (and Photoshop) for years and years, so it's hard to give Adobe up. I use LR for the cataloguing of my photos and videos. Both can edit raw files really well. Luminar is more of an artists editing tool. I get really creative when I'm using Luminar. LR is my workhorse software. I'm used to it so I have a fast workflow. Luminar can also act as a plugin for LR so you can use both at the same time. What I suggest is that you download a trial version of Luminar. Link in the video description. Use my coupon code if you decide to buy it. Also in the video description, and save a few bucks. They also have lots of sales on Luminar. And then you can also get a 30-day trial of LR + Photoshop together. Another Adobe option is Photoshop Elements, which is a one-off price. The advantage of using Elements is that you have similar options as Photoshop in terms of image composites, selections etc. But it's a steep learning curve. Both apps have free tutorial videos on their websites. So look to those to get you up to speed. In the end it's personal preference, budget, and ease of use for you. Thanks for stopping by. p.s. I see that Luminar can work with Apple Photos as a Plug in as well.

@ImageMaven
@ImageMaven 4 года назад
Yes, it works fine indoors too. Do some tests with your shutter speed and maybe try to hit 1/60 or 1/50second so that you get some ambient light in there too. Test everything out before you do a big shoot. The flash has a built in diffuser but you can also purchase 3rd party attachments or make your own. I have a video about flash basics here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4e0J8ntHcdA.html Might be worth a look.

Hi Marlene! I have the HSS option activated on my Godox V860II but I still can't up my shutter speed. The camera is not reacting as if I was still in normal mode. Is there anything else I need to change on the transmitter or the camera (Sony A7III)? I have the TTL mode on. Thank you
@ImageMaven
@ImageMaven 2 года назад
Hi Carlota, First question, is it a transmitter specific for that Sony camera? I don't have a Sony handy to check but I expect you'll find out how to set up HSS if you look it up in the camera owner's manual. Most camera manuals come as pdf and you can easily search them. I just did a search myself and found it. So I'm sure you can do the same. And if you can't get it to work, Jared Polin is using that camera, so you could ask him for help if you can't find your answer in the pdf owner's manual. Hope that helps.

Hello, cen I ask? I have trigger Godox on camera and flash T685 out of camera, all work just when I set HSS on camera more the 1/250 black bar happen... When I have flash directly on camera HSS work... where can be a problem?
@ImageMaven
@ImageMaven 3 года назад
Have you got it set up to HSS on the trigger? That's likely the problem. Or somehow it's not communicating that you're on HSS. On my trigger, I have to set that up. Black bar is caused by the shutter curtain blocking the sensor - but you probably know that!

Marlene, love your very helpful videos. A question. I’m looking for a flash for my G9. Godox V860II vs Godox TT685. They seem identical in specs with the exception of the battery. The V860II has rechargeable battery and is much more expensive. The TT685 uses AA batteries. What is the difference in your opinion other than the batteries? Is it worth to pay $70 extra for the V869II? Thanks.
@ImageMaven
@ImageMaven 3 года назад
I have to say, I love, love the rechargeable battery on the V860II. Having said that, you can get AA batteries everywhere, so it's handy when travelling or when you're not near a power supply. If you think you'll spend $70 or more on AA batteries, get the rechargeable 860 model. I haven't looked at the 685, but if you say it's identical, then I'll believe you. Double check the Godox website for complete information. I'm no expert on this flash and the 860 is the only Godox I've ever used. But ya, the rechargeable battery is great and it lasts a long time.

Hi Dave, I got the X1 Trigger, but in hindsight I should have probably got the X-Pro Trigger instead. It's supposed to be easier to use. I wasn't aware it was available at the time of my purchase. But it was too much hassle to return, (serves me right for shopping online) and I don't use flash very much so I'm sucking it up. But I haven't tested the X-Pro Trigger so make sure you do some research - just in case.

Today I’ll use exactly this flash in combination with my G9, but to shoot a large group of people indoors. It would be great if you could give some tips and advice on that. I already know I’ll do it in TTL and know that with my shutterspeed I can control the ambient light. I’m still doubting if I should put ‘flash exposure’ on or off...
@ImageMaven
@ImageMaven 4 года назад
That is one of the biggest challenges of all. Large group and small flash. And hopefully your group is less than 8 people if using a small flash, because it's not the kind of lighting needed for big groups. It's not very flattering even for a few people. I would bring in extra lighting meant for groups, like large strobes with umbrellas to distribute the light evenly as possible. Shoot in raw so that you can fix any white balance issues in editing. Good luck!

@@ImageMaven Hi Marlene, Just to give you an update: it worked out well. It was a group of around 50 people and yes, by searching for help online, I already knew this was going to be a challenge. Luckily, I had some time at the location to set up and try out some settings. I had a colour filter put on the flash to match the ambient light, I then put my G9 on iso 800 and used a shutterspeed of 30 so that my camera would pick up a lot of ambient light too (not just the harsh flash light). I then stood on a ladder and bounced the flash against the (white) ceiling. Now that I discovered the miracles of using flash ;-) I decided to also buy the Godox 350. This flash is a bit smaller/more compact and easier to bring with me if I don't need to light a huge group of people. Also, the 350 can be combined with the 860. Lots of exciting stuff to learn with these flashes!

In my experience the Godox flash does not recycle fast enough. Maybe on 1/128 power or stroboscopic mode (but that would put the shots in one frame) this would be possible.

I used to only use Manual Flash when I was indoors. I had a little portable portrait set up. Off camera flash with a small umbrella. I did corporate work and occasionally needed to shoot a headshot in someone's workplace - usually their office. I didn't use HSS. I used the standard Sync Speed. The flash will choose the focal length if you have the Zoom set to AUTO. But it only goes down to 12mm for that particular model. You can see whether the focal length Zoom is for M4/3 or FF: On the flash, press and hold the button on the left side of the top row and it will show you a chart with all the info. Also to change from Manual Zoom to Auto Zoom, press that same button and then roll the main dial and it should change the zoom amount, or you can also choose Auto Zoom. Hope that helps. This info would make a good video! Cheers!
