Need help with BBF & Flash

Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

It's been long I have come here for some help. The forum has always been helpful to me n I am really grateful to u guys. So whenever I'm in trouble, I simply come here. Now I have a few queries as I have recently started shooting photographs professionally. So here are the qs:

 

1. In BBF, is there any way to activate Eye Detection? Sometimes I find that even though I'm focusing on the face, due to low aperture the eyes of the subjects aren't as sharp.

 

2. In Bulb mode, is it normal that the flash won't lighten up? I tried a few times but not a single time it worked. What is it that I'm doing wrong here?

 

3. Anyone using here Godox X1T trigger? Is there anyway to switch off a specific flash while using multiple flash in a channel? Suppose I have setup 2 flashes. Now first I want to test the 2nd flash for rim light n don't want to fire the main flash, so that I can see its output n then I want to activate the main flash. I mean, I don't want to physically go there n switch it on n off. As I have no assistants n in some situation, it's just cumbersome during weddings.

 

Thanks a lot guys in advance. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

    • After 20 years with Canon (EOS100, 300D, 5D2, 7D2) I ditched everything and moved to Fuji XH2S a year and a half ago. I had been holding out for a mirrorless 7D2 but was disappointed when the R7 was released and realised that the XH2S was actually what the R7 should have been, and Fuji seem to be the only company taking APSC seriously.  It also felt like Canon were pricing themselves out of the enthusiast market (£120 for a battery, come on!). Blocking third party lenses was the final straw for me as most of my lenses had been Sigma. Anyway, I haven't looked back since. Is the XH2S perfect? No, but everything is a compromise and this gives me the best functionality/weight/price balance for what I do. I shoot mainly wildlife and landscapes but occasionally other stuff like local events, all just for fun.

    • So I ended up getting and X-H2 over the X-T5 because of a good deal that came up.  Needing to buy a card, I needed to figure out,  what is the real impact of a card's speed for photos?   In particular, I'm going to test how shooting at 15 FPS will differ between: Angelbird - AV PRO CFexpress B SE - 512 GB and Angelbird AV PRO CFexpress SX - 160 GB. How many shots can I get off before buffer fills, and how long does it take for the buffer to clear?    MOP: X-H2 Factory rest, card formated, no lens (body cap on), performance boost on, manual exposure, mechanical SS @ 1/8000, IS off, Shoting RAW Compressed Lossless with only one card in. Held shutter release till buffer filled, and used stop watch to see how long for buffer to clear. Subtracted two frames from total taken as that's how long it takes me to release the trigger once the buffer is full. Repeat 2x for sanity check.   ***TEST RESULTS***   ~~~64GB Lexar Pro SD 150MB/s~~~ 75 shots to fill buffer, 36 Seconds to clear it   ~~~Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB~~~ 251 shots to fill buffer, 5 Seconds to clear it   .~~~Angelbird AV Pro SE 512GB~~~ 232 shots to fill buffer, 4 Seconds to clear it     ***Conculsion***   If burst shooting an X-H2 at 15 FPS is your thing, buy the Anglebird 512GB SE for the same price as the 160GB SX.   Below is a shot on X-T2 w/ the Fuji 70-300. I manged to fluke it off with a dead battery by turning the camera off and on again, and squeezing three more shots out (this was the last shot).   Ta for now!
